Waterfalls in the Woods

This weekend Meagan, Steph, May, and i went out to Kanchanaburi. The guest house we stayed at was incredible. Our rooms were floating out on the river and we had an incredible view. The bridge over the river Kwai (actually pronounced Kwae) was only about a kilometer down river and we had plenty of time to go and take pictures and walk the bridge before we stopped and got dinner the first night. We got dinner at a floating restaurant at the bridge and the fish i had for dinner was one of the best meals I have had yet here in Tahiland and that is saying allot.

This morning we got up early (around 7 i think) and took a but out to the Erawan falls. It is a spectacular seven tier system of water falls that string along for about a kilometer and a half. The water was a crystal blue and amazingly clear, i have some pictures where you can see whole schools of fish in the pools like the water wasn't even there. I think the thing that made the weekend the best was just the fact that we made it out into nature. Living here in the city the closest thing I have had to being in the woods since we went to Cambodia are the groomed shrubs on campus, and being from Alabama i really think that wears on me sometimes.

Finals are coming fast and hard, it seems like we just got through with midterms but classes are already through for the term. The good new is that so very soon I will be chilling on a beach in Ko Samui seriously contemplating mutiny (inside thing with the team). Then it will be off to northeastern Thailand to teach English in a rural village for a week.
