I went on jetskis! Yes! I got sunburn! Nooooooooooo

Yeah so I’ve been waiting to go on these jetskis the whole trip, and I went today because people are mostly gone, and because it’s the last day awwww. I almost got in trouble… they pointed at a boat in the distance and said we couldn’t go past it, but we could go up to it. So I did I noticed when I got up there that there was a little head bobbing out of the ocean, and he’s like waving me down, so I stop a good distance away from him and try to see what he wants, and he’s yelling at me to get away from him I was confused but I asked him how far away and he yells at me “500 meters” and I’m not a good judge of distance so I ask him how far away that is… and he just repeats it And then he tells me like twice as far away as I was. Apparently 500 meters is 5 football fields, so I don’t know what he was on about… but those guys meant some other boat off in the distance, so I got to rip through a lot more ocean and it was FUN. I got up to 40mph at one point !!

Sooooo I forgot that ocean has a high albedo, and I only put sunblock on my shoulders (because they burn first), and as a result, my face, outer thighs, and the tops of my ass are done for. I’m so pink right now. Ooops. I don’t even know how long it’s been since I last got burned… see, I do this thing called “staying indoors” and I find it usually helps a lot when it comes to sunburn I wonder how long it will last??? A week???

I ate dinner in bed last night No joke, there’s a place called Bed down in South Beach for Trisha’s birthday, and it was SO GOOD. They have a weird dress code where you take off your shoes before you get in, but uhhh you have to wear sandals but not flip flops?? I was walking around in heels all night, so I wore a dress too Anyway, this place is just a bunch of beds with big pillows and these trays in the middle. We were next to a corner bed and there were these people getting all dressed up. We didn’t know what they were up to, but then they uhhh came out and did weird performance art stuff. Mostly it involved lying on the floor for the duration of a song, or turning around in circles. Hmmmmmmmm…

Anyway, the dinner was really pimp, because we got EVERYTHING off the menu. Sometimes we got two of something. It looks like their menu is designed for sharing, and there were 8 or so of us, so we got a ton of stuff. I enjoyed the stuffed rigatoni the MOST, and the stuffed mushrooms and steak were also fantastic It’s nice to just be able to pick something from everything. They also gave us a bottle of Cristal too, which everyone was excited about… I have to admit it tasted better than other wine I’ve had, but I couldn’t drink all that much of it anyway. More for Natalie, who was really excited to have it for the first time. Go Natalie!

I LOVE FOOD.

I’m heeeeere! In Miami! For the first time!! Holy crap there’s beaches forever and ever and ever and ever… as in, along the whole coastline… and the ocean goes on FOREVER. I have a panoramic view of the ocean, and it’s so amazingly blue that I just want to look at it all day My room’s really high up, too, so I get an eyeful of the TWO pools that are also here.

There’s this chess board that’s on the beach… it looks pretty big, but I think it would be best played standing on the balcony and calling down the moves hahaha.

There’s a few people here, including Natalie We went to meet and greet some people… cute guys!! And nice people Tomorrow is Trisha’s birthday hurray! Okay, so I’m gonna go see how this show goes, and hopefully meet good people and have fun
