This was another relaxing day for us. We were up a little late watching some of the Olympics. This is when I learned that my husband does not like gymnastics - the one Olympic event I love to watch. He likes the events that have a clear winner. We watched table tennis which was pretty intense.... and not necessarily something I would consider an Olympic sport......
Anyway, we slept in and headed down for a late breakfast. We celebrated our one year anniversary on this day since we would be traveling back to India on our actual anniversary. We headed down to the beach with our books. The tide didn't come in at the same time every day which made no sense to me. It was out pretty much the whole time we were down there. I did find out that the sounds I had been hearing the first night we walked along the beach were thousands of little crabs that come out when the tide is out.
Beautiful.
We decided that we wanted to have a real Thai dinner for our anniversary meal. I settled on sweet and sour pork (what? it was listed under the Thai dishes!) and Stewart opted for the chef's recommendations. He had an appetizer, soup (so good!), salad (soft shell crabs scare me), three main dishes, and dessert (mmm, fried bananas). I had mango with sticky rice. I was so full by the end of dinner. We walked along the beach one last time that night and watched as some crabs quickly darted in front of us.
It was the perfect evening for our last night there.

All of the black dots in the picture are actually crabs! I had fun walking out into the middle of them. They would scuttle into their holes and then I would wait for them to come back out before waving my arms madly and scaring them all back into their holes. I'm sure the people on the beach found me amusing but I was having fun! We had another picnic lunch on the beach and then called it a day in the late afternoon.
We went back up to the room and Stewart set up the sofa so we could sit on it and watch the sea and beach. I headed out and stopped at a little cafe for a mango shake and a banana shake along with two little pastries in celebration. We sat and looked out on the peaceful scene until it was time for sunset. Then we went to the other side and saw this ....
