Koh Samui

We arrived in Koh Samui and spent shabbat at the Bet Chabad. There were over 300 people at our meal and there was even a second seating. We met a few really cool people and wound up spending most of our shabbat with them.
During the week we hung by the pool and relaxed, we went to the gym, and we had a really great time overall.

Ang Thong National Park

What an amazing day! We booked the day through an Israeli company so our boat was full of Israelis. Our guide for the day told us we were going to be making four stops: snorkeling, kayaking, hiking, and finally a beach chill. We pulled up the the snorkeling area - there were a ton of other boats there as well - and jumped in. At first, it didn't really look like much, a few striped blue fish here and there but that was all. However, after a while, our eyes adjusted and we could see a whole underwater world. There were yellow and black fish, big green and blue fish, schools of tiny little baby fish. It was a really eye-opening experience for us. We got to the hiking spot and it was a hike that went straight up. The guides were calling the things we were climbing up stairs, but in all actuality they were ladders. Thale Nai lagoon is completely cut off from people. As you watch the crystal clear water shimmer in the sun, knowing you can't go into it is a complete bummer. We hiked...

The Alentejo

We've spent our time this week in the south of Portugal otherwise know as The Alentejo. Yehuda's cousins, Netta and Noam live here with their absolutely amazing girls, Lily, Polly, and Tony. We are actually obsessed with these kids! They are so friendly and fearless! They always want to play, climb trees, do puzzles and just hang out with the local cats. They are extremely bright and sweet and we have really been enjoying our time with them. The Alentejo is a beautiful oasis with tons of nature, rich culture, and adorable horses! Being that Yehuda's cousins are in the process of creating their own school, we figured we'd lend a helping hand and have been working on creating an educational garden for them. Their school is like nothing I've ever seen before. Firstly, the school is basically in the middle of the woods... and secondly, the school is made out of two dome shaped... idk what to call them but I'm going to go with YURTS! Yes, yurts. The domes are pretty ...

Krabi - Hong Island

We started off the day going to Hong Lagoon. It was really nice (packed) but nice. They don't allow snorkeling there anymore because it is frequently visited by stingray. Our second stop was to the beach that was connected to another beach by a small strip. We ate lunch here and made a few friends. Out last stop was Hong Island. The water was stunning and we went snorkeling. We saw the most beautiful rainbow fish EVER!
