Yesterday we left 6 am, took two minivans, a pickup truck bus, a ferry and another pickup and now we are here in Ko Chang, a small mountainous, lush island off the East coast of Thailand. We are staying in a bungalow right on the sandy beach. The water are very calm and good for swimming. It is a tourist place, but rather mellow and quiet. Hope to do some hiking; the mountains look stunningly beautiful.
We can get Al Gazeera on our TV. It is the first time I have seen Al Gazeera. I think they do a very good job of counter balancing the biased account of Israel's assault and Islam/Middle East politics. If the American public would see this coverage it surely would sway public opinion to be more critical of Israel's position. I feel bad that I can not be part of the protest movement that I am connected to in San Francisco regarding the important struggles that are going on.
