For Mom, Love Steve

Today, that’s right folks “Today”, I am writing this the same day that it is happening. Now, I might not get it uploaded the same day, but it will be written on the same day. Hallelujah

Today was going to be my off day. I kind of learned from Katie and Jason (Dominica), that it?s okay to have a slow day after a hard/bad trek. After yesterday, my arms and legs were scratched up and looking a bit infected. My feet and specifically my toes hurt when I walked. I don?t want to hear it. Toe cuts are a bitch. Anyways, Bernadette and I were going to do a quick snorkel that morning. I lazed around and healed, making a mental list of things I wanted to do while in Charlotteville. Around 10am we went and did our usual round of snorkeling. I made my usual check for the Ray and Snake but no luck. I guess I?ll have to wait until South America to be bitten by a poisonous snake. I will be very disappointed if I don?t get killed by a poisonous snake on this trip. Knowing that I have kind of slacked off I did get a chance to do a long swim since my toes did not cause me any problems in the water. Oh, by the way, Sea Urchin wound, still hurts. Got a perfect hole in my foot and it still stings when I walk barefoot. One thing I refuse to do is die by one of those little bastards. I think I will wait until I hit South America and hit a doctor. Its kind of embarrassing doing the ooooh ooooh ahhh ahhh dance when walking around the rocky beach. It kind of lessens my Jungle Man status.

Even in the skeezy room I got a good nights rest. Felt comfortable enough to doze off again clutching my ten thousand sleep drooled pillow. Hey, at that first moment of waking up, who really cares what ... [Continue reading this entry]
