another day at the beach

Rick woke us up bright and early, shouting things like, hurry up! some people have to work around here! hurry up! lets go to the beach! i want to tide pool! hurry up. get up! lets go swimming at the beach! you cant sleep all day!" then i giggled because anyone whoh knows me, KNOWS that i can indeed sleep all day. but, nevertheless, i agreed thatt tidepooling sounded like a gem for the mornings activities. So, i rolled off my side of the bed and gently pushed margaret off hers. we headed to the beach.

YOU: how did you get to the beach?
ME: what a great question!!!
YOU: those are all i have.... great questions...
ME: uuhh... right, anyway- we took a MOTO-TAXI!!!!! (yes mom and dad, i DID wear a helmet.) and the best thing is, they go so fast and cut throuogh traffic like you wouldnt believe and they only cost 4Reales which is like, 2 american $$.

NOTE: i took a video while on the back seat of the moto-taxi. will post eventually....

so now we're at the beach and we walk over to the next beach called Mucage Beach (which is my personal favorite). There we found a nice spot where margie was out of the sun and where i could be 1/2 in the sun and 1/2 out of the sun.

the events are as follows:
-first things first: order a BRAHMA (yes, we know its only 8AM right now. which is 3AM alaska time)

- went tidepooling and saw thousands of sea urchins, sea cucumber, sea stars, etc.
- drank another brahma
- went swimming
- journal wrote
- bought some tasty fried coconut that made my heart melt
- brahma
- bought a bathing suit from a lady selling them on the beach
- swimming
- met a guy names Julio that was a photographer and used my camera to take a photoshoot of margaret and i
- met another guy that gave me his necklace and then went home to get a sarong to match my new bathing suit i just bought on the beach
- the best batatas freitas i've ever had
- got a moto-taxi ride home after stopping at the market to buy beans and vodka. (probably the best store bought combination ever.... im just saying)
