Thai postage
I got stuff on Etsy shipped to me from Thailand. I greatly enjoyed this elephant stamp.

leaves everywhere
I like when trees have leaves on parts that are not just the branches.

honey-sage marinated chicken
Jeff and Jesse created this honey-sage marinated chicken with vegetable basmati rice and chive blossom garnish. I was still too shaky to eat more than half of it, but I at least recognised how beautiful it looked.

the beach at our hotel.
This is the beach at the hotel. I spent this day recovering from my horrific adventures in the bathroom the night before, and then we flew home in the late afternoon. I drank water and ginger ale on the plane, and at 11:30pm when we finally got back to Maple Ridge, I ate half a Subway sandwich. Around quarter to one Jeff picked me up from my parents' place, where I was passed out on the couch. My appetite didn't return completely until Monday, and all Sunday I felt terribly weak and exhausted. BE CAREFUL EATING SEAFOOD, YOU GUYS.

mango daiquiri
Nothing says tropical vacation like drinking fruity drinks poolside. Too bad I got food poisoning later this day.

oceanic sunset
For some reason, this photos gets the song "Tahitian Moon" stuck in my head.

cultural universals
Nice to know that kids wanting to scare the shit out of birds is a cultural universal.

from the tapas restaurant
I'd like to think that days where I take several photos I like (so that choosing which to post is actually difficult) makes up for the days where I take no photos or only crap, but instead it just means I feel guilty about those days.

This is the view from an incredible tapas restaurant called Barcelona, where we got tipsy on sangria and watched the sunset after a day at the beach in Bucerias, where I stepped on a bee.

under my umbrella
Near the palado where we sat for most of the day, eating delicious things, drinking beer, reading books, and swimming in the delightfully warm ocean.

along the Malecón
A beautiful and haunting statue along the Malecón (sort of a boardwalk/seawall kind of thing in downtown).
