The Beach

I went to Wilmington, NC with some friends (Elisabeth, Louiza, Corey, Kenny, Mark, Jordan Sk) yesterday (pictures sooooon-ish). We left camp around 9 and got there around 11-something. Got some wine, some sandwich parts and after finding parking, finally made our way to the sandy shores for some pleasure-filled picnic-ing. I also ate seaweed whilst on the beach for irony. It was seaweed that I had payed for, but the best part was that while I was eating, seaweed from the beach (free seaweed) was blowing around me and my feet. Both versions pretty much smelled the same.

In the water we screamed a lot because we kept running into schools of fish and seeing large shadowy shapes with flippers, flappers and fins. A couple people got bit by things or stepped on crabs and what not. We played lots of water games that involved lifting people up out of the water and throwing them. My back got burnt by the sun, I collected lots of seashells and may mail them out to people. We caught baby fish and made sand castles and played frisbee. We moved people's things out of the way when the tide started to come in. We went to the dockside restaurant...I got a delicious veggie burger and even more delicious sweet potato fries. Then we went back to Mark's and tried on his old halloween costume, took pictures and played catch-phrase until the batteries died. Oh, we also made our own delicious desserts by combining varieties of ice cream with coffee and creme brulee creamer. Tasted good.

Then drove home, got back to camp at midnight, hung out in the staff lounge with Jordan Si, Jean and Elisabeth...ended up staying in the staff lounge until 4 a.m. because it started raining really crazily and heavily and couldn't make it back to the cabins.

Woke up (i'm writing in fragments now, by the by) did laundry/am doing laundry and just finished watching/listening to this:

Wish me luck...new camper today. Let week 2 begin!!!!

Love,
