It was a very quiet morning with lots
of long-tail boats on the beach.


We decided to go kayaking, but I was a bit slow
and sat down to read.  I don't know why I just
sat there, but that book saved my life.


Because at 11AM, the tsunami hit our beach.  These guys
didn't make it.  (This picture was taken by someone else at our hotel.)
When it hit, we were off to higher ground.  I didn't have time
to grab my camera and take any pictures.
 Kayakers out there
didn't make it back.
