I suppose it would be really very quite safe to say that this summer (so far...O no, its not over yet) has been wonderful. (Slight understatement but its as accurate of a word that i can think of at the moment)
(I always write lists, its just easier) Its been full of caves, tartufo, cheesecake, plane rides, car rides, downtown, beaches, strawberries, work, reading, mini golf, chai, vanilla, pasta, parasailing, catamaraning, dolphins, frozen yogurt, cupcakes & you! ( if not then clearly that is an issue which we will have to work out!?)
Along with summer it would appear as though my house has aqquired new wallpaper. The walls are splattered with the remainders of these small but ever so annoying creatures remains. Flies. Who would have thought that living next to a barn could bring along the need to aqquire the art of fly swatting. And what is worse it that they eat one another. Although i guess flies arent the only animals that eat their own species you would think that an animal that eats anything and everything would put its own species as a last resort!? Hmmm but maybe not.
Jessica stewert came over and we went a got tartufo for old times sake.
& we picked strawberries
Jessica & Her house.

A foreighner in a not so foreighn country.
This is Ali. After one day of being in the country we shove her in a car crammed with ravioli and head up to the middle of nowhere for 4 days.
There were no showers, so we washed our hair in buckets. But it turned out not to be at all bad!
The snorkling capital of canada. The water was so clear and nice.
That person in the distance is my dad on his motorized canoe.
We went out for white fish and chips and it was really good.
Inorder to get to this unwater cave called the grotto you need to go down this hole in the rock.
We went on a glass bottom boat to flower pot island.

I learnt that there are alot of really nice and also really wierd people at air ports, we got split up and i was forced into conversation with this odd man in the customs line up for and hour and fifteen minutes.
The first day we went shrimping. Excpet i didnt catch any shrimp.
I oly caught jelly fish and this fish.
She caught a fish but then it died so we didnt go fishing again.
There were alot of these!
The next day liz (ali's sister, john (liz's boyfriend) and i went mini golfing at "legends" mini golf. Where at every hole there was a bible verse.
I was orange...and i lost.

After liz practically killed herself at "legends" mini golf we opted for pirates cove.
It was intense.
I left my polaroid camera out in the sun, so alot the film expired so not many really turned out.
British people driving in America....
One night we went on an alligator watching hay ride.
We called the alligators by using plastic cups and wet shoelaces.
While there i pretended i actually knew how to play tennis. Can you tell?
John had only been playing a week inyet he was about 10 times better then me.
At night the beaches are lined with jelly fish and people fishing for sharks.
This picture makes me feel sick every time i see it.
