Relaxing on Ko Tao

We are on the island of Ko Tao in the south of Thailand now and have been enjoying the laid back atmosphere and tropical environment for a couple days now. Yesterday we hiked to a more secluded beach and did some snokeling before feasting on Thai food at a beachside restaurant. Today I went diving (for super cheap!) and got to see some amazing fish and coral, I even saw a whale shark that was like 10 feet long! Extra cool since it is really rare to see them and they are the biggest of all sharks around here. I am stoked and want to do some more diving when we go to Ko Phi Phi next... The place we are staying at is beachside and we have our own little bungalow. The restaurant/chill area is right on the beach so we have just been hanging out there and reading during our downtime, the weather has been amazing and not too hot like in Bangkok. Today being the Fourth of July we are pondering some sort of celebration, I might have a cheeseburger for dinner and I think it is possible to purchase sparklers around the town. Our place offers yoga classes to so we are going to head back for an evening yoga session right now, and possibly another five dollar, hour-long Thai massage.
