a first

i went kayaking today. i enjoyed it immensely! gary (who is a city council member) called the rental store (bc someone who is over 18 is supposed to sign release forms) and arranged everything for us. well, when we finally got there they gave us really good paddles and a really good kayak. we went to the canals by naples. we went to see the jellyfish. we swam with the jelly fish. the whole way, people were friendly, calling out and talking. on the way back, i sat backwards, so we could talk better, and that got even more comments! we were out for 1 hr and 45min, so we had a few dollars left. we went to second street, where we decided to go to a pizza place. they told us about a special they were having. buy two pieces of pizza, and get some free beer! i just responded, "oh, okay." later, they asked us if we wanted the beer, and we said no. then they asked us how old we were. apparently they thought us over 21 and were willing to hand us some booze :D then, danielle and i came to my house for awhile!

favorite location..

.its a grind! love that place. i went with amy today, and we figured it was the first time we had done anything alone together. weve gone half way across the world, but never done anything just us. anyways! amy hadnt had lunch, so we went to subway, and these two guys were in line behind us. one of them reaches across his friend and nudges me. im just like- what do you want? he points to the floor near the drinks, and says- isnt that the biggest roach youve ever seen? it was! i had always thought of it as a clean place. then it started crawling towards us and amy and i ran out. ewww! then we came to my house and i showed her my room! the end. oh, except after that, i made a collage. and we made curly french fries! so yummy. the end. for real.

work

some days, work is so much fun, and other days, it is a complete bore! today was fun- alot of friendly people came in. i had conversations about teacups, businesses round about, purses, clothes, etc. it also helps to have a good book for the in-between times.
