Bermuda continued

Hello folks,

Sooooo, woke up this morning and ate a whole mountain of bacon. . It was awesome. The weather today is perfect- sunny, breezy, and what am I doing? I'm sitting in the lab watching my sister scrape zooxanthelli off of her little tube corals and homogenize them. It's great.

**a few hours later**

So, we ended up avoiding lunch at the station that Em works at and heading out to one of the nearby towns, St. Georges, and ate at a nice little restaurant on the water. We also went touring around the local area on the scooter, which stopped 3 times for no apparent reason while we were driving around, causing some frustration. Then Em went back to the lab, began doing work, and then someone was looking for a spare diver and a boat sitter and we quickly abandoned aforementioned work and I sat on a boat in the sun for a few hours while Em cemented coral back to reefs.

However, now on to the more interesting stuff- the evening. We went out for this AMAZING sushi in Hamilton, it was so freaking delicious. Then we headed over to the Pickled Onion, otherwise known as the Purple People Eater, and hung out for a bit there- after realizing the low free drink potential (if you know what I mean), we left. As Em's friend says, "We give birth, we deserve free drinks". :)

So we headed over to a bar called Cairo, and that was SO much fun. Good music, good people, just a really crowded fun place to be. Again, Em and her friend danced up a storm, turning heads in every direction, while I stood to the side with the guys and with the very definate statement of "my hips do NOT move like that". We were out until about 130 I think, but the weather was perfect at night and the breeze right off the water was awesome.

Peace.

Bermuda

So, I'm in Bermuda visiting my little sister Emily for Thanksgiving! It's pretty nice, we just had a great turkey dinner... and we're so tired because of the T-phan and the snorkeling/diving that we did ALL day today. The sun tried to come out for a bit, but even without it the weather is warm and mild and its awesome to see Em cause I havent seen her since before I went to Tanzania... so nearly a year! Tomorrow means sushi and going to bars... because this is bermuda and we've got to shake it up a bit. The trip here was a bit intense, we were delayed for over an hour and a half because some lady didnt show up to the plane and they had to find her bag... turns out she was either really drunk or mentally unstable and in either case in no condition to fly...and then I got stopped by immigration, nearly strip searched, drug swabbed, and FINALLY released into the arms of my loving sister. Then we scootered to where she's staying and met some people and then scootered to the beach, where the scooter then wouldn't start again and we had to abandon it and walk back.

Now I want candy. Peace.
