Update: Koh Tao is just as relaxing/beautiful/heavenly/amazing as I thought it would be. As predicted, we've spent all day every day soaking in the sun and playing in blue waters... whether it was the pool or the ocean.

Today I ate breakfast in a cute little cafe around the corner with Kelsey and Brianna, and Bri was telling us this theory about two types of fun. Type 1 Fun consists of the little things that make you feel good, like reading a good book, watching your favorite TV show, listening to some music, hanging out with friends. They aren't the most exciting things, but they make you happy. Type 2 Fun consists of the big things, the adventures. It's not always fun in the moment - sometimes it's uncomfortable or scary or overwhelming - but it's fun to look back on and gives you an awesome story to tell.

So far, this trip has been full of Type 2 Fun - sleeping in shacks without electricity in the middle of the jungle, shitting in holes in the ground, overnight buses, language barriers. Koh Tao has brought us some much needed Type 1. Yesterday Steve, Bri, Kelsey and I spent the 4th of July hanging out on the beach with a bottle of rum, laying in the sun, and playing in the water with a couple of golden retriever puppies who liked the look of our frisbee. Could not have been more content with life!
