went for a surfing lesson today. and got stung repeatedly by blue-bottle jelly fish. they're tiny, blue, and evil. they leave burn marks shaped like suction-y tentacles wherever they hit you. my thighs are covered in zig zaging dotted lines.
however, i have now successfully surfed some little waves :)

oh, and i got a new bed [read: old flat-ish foam pad] last week, meaning i have space to stand in my tent and i'm no longer sleeping on a half-delfated air mattress. things are looking up.

jumped over a rather large carpet python yesterday on my way back to the tent. i thought it was a vine until i realized it was in the middle of the path. they're not too bad though. just don't tick them off.

happy saint patty's day!
