........the second goddess

THALASSA was the Protogenos or primeval spirit of the sea. Coupling with her male counterpart Pontos, she spawned the tribes of fish. Like the other Protogenoi, Thalassa was scarcely personified, instead her form was elemental, the body of the sea itself. In the fables of Aesop, Thalassa appears as a woman formed of sea water rising up from her native element.
Poseidon and Amphitrite were the anthropomorphic gods equivalent to Pontos and Thalassa. In late classical times, the two were also confounded with Okeanos and Tethys.

tLuang Prabang , sans-serif; font-size: 20px; line-height: 28px;">! That took 2 days, over nighting in a mental little village in the middle of nowhere that only has electicity for a few hours each morning and night! So aye, I'm in Luang Prabang now. And it's lovely! Proper lickle holidaye type place, still tres tres hot. I really really can't get use to all this money either. I only just got use to the Thai bhat! Listen to this, 100 thai bht is about 1pound50 (sorry there are no pound signs on this keyboard!), and the Laos Kip is 250 to 1 thai bhat! If ya get me. So currently I have thouands of notes, we all said we don't know why they just knock all the 0's off! Ha ha.

A portrait of us arrive at guest house... 12 of us arrive at guest house... wicked pic!But my main reason for this post is to let you all know that I am no longer a 'loner', I'm sharing a super super kingsize bed in a guest house with 2 other girls, one from Israel (shes hilarious) and Ellen from England. There are 12 of us in total. We all met on the boat, so kinda stayed together. The bars here are lovely. All lit up with green and red lights, candles on the tables and lots of green plants everywhere- proper exotic. So, I feel like shite today. Really bad. Had a few too many cocktails and mahoooosive beers last night, first proper drink since being at home. NOT liking this hangover lark in this heat, absolutely ridiculous! Not drinking again for a bit, like that anyway, coz it ruins the next day.
