Sometimes the beach is just not fun

So, I have written numerous accounts of lovely weekends away at the beach... and they truly have been lovely... but last weekend was an exception to that.

We arrived on Koh Samet on Friday night... the evening was lovely... random details made it not so enjoyable, but the night itself was great.

Then we woke up Saturday morning to rain. And it rained ALL DAY! This is not rainy season... And this particular island is basically made for lying on the beach, swimming in the sea, and eating at outdoor restaurants. So that was a bummer. Saturday night it had cleared up.... but there was no sun to aid in my tan needs.

Sunday morning, although no rain... it was dreary... the water looked as if a storm was coming... and halfway through breakfast... the rain came again. So... it wasn't the weekend I had hoped for.

Ah well... it can't all be perfect - I can only dream. There is always next time.
