The Big Blue

Didn't do a whole lot yesterday owing to my developing cold. I figured if I took it easy, it might not develop into full blown nastiness as it usually does.

It rained again, but I made it to my new hostel without too much dampness. I am staying at the Ocean Beach Backpackers, aptly named because of the conveniently located ocean across the street. After checking in and laying around in the courtyard for a while, the rain finally cleared up and let in some glorious sunshine. I went down to the beach and introduced myself to the Indian Ocean- I think we are going to get along swimmingly (come on, you know you love a good pun!).

I am in a ladies dorm this time, which is a nice change, what with the dramatic decrease in midnight farts and snores. Apparently flatulence is international. A couple dutch girls, a pair of british gals and one I haven't met.

Oh yeah, and I went to the grocery store so I could stop spending gobs of money at restaurants. It was an IGA of all things! There is something very surreal about that, considering that the same store exists in High Prairie. Very surreal to find it on the exact opposite side of the world.
