| People gathered by the river in Surat Thani on the night of the full moon.... 10 November 2011, to place in the water, a small lotus shaped boat made out of banana leaves... adorned with a candle, incense, flowers and maybe even a coin. Before sending the boat out into the river, prayers were offered and wishes were made. |
 |
| What's happening to me.....? I think I've turned into some kind of monster! I've never seen this in me before. |
 |
| I don't get it.... The ideas are just not flowing.... Since leaving the Maldives Islands... I've had an extremely serious case of......... Blogger's block! |
 |
| This is one of the last pictures I took, while on Iru Fishu.... my paradise island for a few days! Looking at this photo... it almost seems as though it could be an oil painting from the 1940s. I'm thinking.... Santa Monica beach.... California... It's the Maldives..... the beach front lounge at the Hilton Resort and Spa.... Oh.... what a paradise on earth! |

 |
| Chicken curry, bacon, hard boiled egg, cheese, cereal, mango juice,... and that dark heavy bread! Coffee too! |
 |
| How about a nice walk along the beach? |
 |
| Go for a swim? |
 |
| How about snorkeling? |
 |
| The jetty ... at night.... during the day, all one sees is the blue Indian Ocean... at night... the view changes dramatically! |
 |
| Roots, roots, roots..... |
 |
| A little palm tree takes on such color at night. |
 |
| These roots take on a prehistoric monster type quality at night! |
 |
| Where am I going? |
 |
| These chairs in one of the waterfront bars look like an art form. |
 |
| Little coffee bar.... great strong coffee! |
 |
| That $11,500 blue 4.1caret saphire with nearly 2 caret of diamonds around it, looked very nice on my finger. |
 |
| Hmmmmm... does thisring look like it needs to be on my finger....? To the tune of $11,500.00? Maybe tomorrow..... |
 |
| Message of love carved on a coconut... |
 |
| Waterfront bar..... and lounge... |
 |
| The main restaurant on the island... |
 |
| Sit, maybe have a coffee and window shop. |
 |
| So much one can buy! |
 |
| I see the blue window... where's the door so I can go in and do some shopping? |
 |
| That shop is calling my name.... |
 |
| The red illuminated art piece would look great in my house. |
 |
| Or the dolphin jumping over the silver shell would go nicely on my coffee table. Do I still have a coffee table? |
 |
| Another dolphin..... for .... where in my house? |
 |
| Glass turtles could fit anywhere in my house... |
 |
| This lobster is a must! Where's my credit card? |
 |
| My place in the sun on the beach of Iru Fishu Island in the Maldives.... forever mine in my mind. |
 |
| Nice to just relax in the early morning and watch the world come alive... |
 |
| How clever! What a nice added touch to my villa... a bowl of water to rinse the sand off my feet, and a towel to dry them, before I enter my villa.... |
 |
| This beach front villa on Iru Fishu goes for a mere $5,000 per night. Ten people... that's only $500 per person. 20 people comes to $250...... I'll let you continue the math! Wonder what amenities come with the villa? Maybe one day I'll take the giant financial leap and find out!!!!! When I do.... you all are invited! |
 |
| Hmmmmm good.... my first cup of coffee as the sun rises on the Iru Fishu Island beach... |
