So my brain died and I forgot to tell you one of the coolest parts of going to the weird hand beach—ahhh—Danielle says that all the sun is starting to bleach my brain because this is like the third or fourth air-headed thing I have done today and the umpteenth I’ve done since we got to South America and back to sunny weather but that’s beside the point. Moving on.
We saw Squishy! And yes, by squishy I definitely mean the little jellyfish that Dory tries to adopt in Finding Nemo. Actually we saw cone jellyfish which are super cool, transparent, slimy and most importantly do not sting you. Here’s the story: we had been at the beach for awhile and Amy and Sarah had claimed that they had seen jellyfish. A statement we quickly discounted. Then they found a slimy thing on the beach and we decided that it didn’t really look like a jellyfish but maybe. We went back out again and started to see almost transparent little balls floating around but didn’t know if they were harmful or not. After feeling many brush by our legs without any damage caused we decided the best way to get to the bottom of our dilemma was to catch one, so that’s what we did. We ohhed and ahhd and threw it on Amy who screamed and ran away and decided that it was, in fact, a jellyfish.
We proceeded to catch more and show them to the other SASers on the beach and eventually I suggested that we get a picture because otherwise no one would believe us. So if you are rolling your eyes as you read this and are seriously considering Danielle’s bleached brain theory then shoot me an e-mail and I will send you picture proof :) We proceeded to take one to the shore, making sure to keep dunking it in the water so as not to kill our little squishy, and took pictures of each of us holding it.
Ok that was pretty much it. I already told you about the first two days and to be honest we were really boring on the third day so we’ll just skip that.
Rio’s up next!
