Barrett and I went to the Brookfield Zoo yesterday for a story on some honkin’ big pumps and filters. We got pretty up close and personal to the dolphins . . . it was wayyyy cool. Anyway, I was thinking you could use your diving skills to become an algae scrubber at the zoo, in case you don’t have anything else lined up for when you return. We saw these three young women in wet suits getting ready to go into the walrus habitat and clean the algae off the walls.

Those dives sound amazing! You know that I just read in Adventure Geographic that people do this thing where they wear only fins and a wet suit and dive as deep as 24 story buildings down into the ocean - just holding their breath! It’s Mind over Matter baby!!! (just like running right?) Deep water free diving sounds awesome to me…but don’t worry, I won’t go that hard core yet…I’ll follow your lead and wear scuba gear first! I’ll admit, I haven’t been reading your blog as much as I should, but I do miss you and miss you and miss you all of the time. I want to go eat Queso and chips with you at Taco Palace ASAP!!!! Love and kisses and hugs - Jen!

Of course we’re all still reading your blog! It’s neat that you’re wandering around Thailand by yourself…I miss you so much and wish I could talk to you on the phone. Europe was awesome by the way.

OK, so-called friends of Becky. Contrary to what you may think, and unlike the Onion, a blog –especially the travel blog of a short American girl walking around southest asia by herself– is a two-way conduit of information. You can’t just read about Becky’s adventures and not contribute to the blog. That’s like reading the magazines in Borders and not buying one. Very low class.

So let’s see some comments, questions, statements or even gibberish. (No, not gibberish.)

Don’t make me write something controversial or insulting!!

OK, game on! Becky had some awesome Pad Thai (I was going to say “killer pad thai” but that isn’t funny). So that’s the challenge. But first Becky has to tell us what made it so awesome so we can try to approximate it. Anytime I have had pad thai in Madison it’s basically a mass of gelatinous noodles with thick brown sauce and every bite tastes the same. Kinda like all Mexican food here tastes the same: beans, cheese nondescript goo.

Also, Miss Becky, we would like to know more about the curry.
