i am finally able to sit down and write this post. Three days later, i'm updating about my trip to the beach on Saturday.
3 am: fall asleep 6 am: wake up 830 am: shower 10am: leave for marissa's house. but get dropped off at Rite Aid on Gower & Sunset. 11 am: get on bus to the beach. we only need to take one bus all the way down.
anything timing after I am unaware of. Gee. That sounds like Joseph Addison's "The Spectator".
We [Marissa, Susana, and I] were all hungry so the minute we got off the bus i pulled out the BBQ chips and we start eating and walking. We go to the beach first and it takes a while 'cause we were all picky about which spot we would set up at. Finally get a spot. Me and Susana go down into the FREEEEEZING water. The water comes up and drenches Susana. She starts running so naturally I take a picture.
Got more wet and went to dry off.
to get the sand off of us we went over to the shower-type things. but only the bottom ones were on. we spent a lot more time than anyone else there washing off. i had to wash my hair out and damn did that feel good. we went to the bathrooms to change. i took forever and ended up forgetting my bottles of water in there so i had to go back
BUBBA GUMP time. "Stephanie-- party of three". "30-35 minutes". we headed off towards the other end of the pier to kill time. got back and we eat. Delicious.
Rides. Pacific Wheel. Photo op.
The wheel stops occasionaly. It was funny. The gondola would start to shake and Marissa and Susana freaked. "Twas a funny site when Susana was just sitting and it started to shake. Wish we got that on camera.
Went to the other side of the beach which was much less crowded than the side we were on at first. Took some random photos. One was of the lifegaurd and the weed-looking whole we dug up. After we got some expensive Coffee Bean. I had the Ultimate Chocolate which was delicious. But i didn't finish mine. I left it in the cart of probably some homelss person. There were some interesting people on the bus. One guy who was into Susana's phone. Another couple which were adorable. One guy sleeping. Surfer kids.
got home and dropped our stuff off at marissa's. her dad takes us over to amoeba. i have a new love-- so many to choose from and not that expensive. ended up buying four CDs for only 6 bucks: Rex Aquarium, Syd Matters, Little Brazil, and some other CD. It was red.
get a ride home with susana. fin.
