Day Five: Witness the Whiteness

[pyat]

Today was Redondo Beach, Santa Monica Beach, Santa Monica Aquarium, and Santa Monica Pier... and a Jack-in-the-Box, followed by a long shower and a (hopefully) early bed.

I paddled about in the Pacific Ocean. They weren't lying when they said it was full of saltwater, you know. I also appear to have a mild sunburn.

All sorts of interesting things have been happening each day, but I'm frankly too tired to write about them by the end of each day.


Barrel-shaped torsos float best! I promise - everything below this cut is more photogenic.




summerfields (the female half) got pooped on.

They're from Please Mum, which you should be able to find online, and they're wonderful. They're a big part of the reason why the girls aren't sunburned today, though the rest of us are. They're UV protective and there are matching hats, and there are a few other colours available. And they're made in Canada, not a third-world country, so you can trust the source.

Does the adult version exist? I would love a suit like that.

Ha-ha!! Yes, google "rashguard". It's a surfer thing, I think. I want one. We did the kiddie pool in the back yard thing last weekend, and I got a sunburned spot in the middle of my back where I apparently didn't reach far enough with the sunscreen.

Not at Please Mum - it's a kids' store. I don't know if they make them elsewhere. I've seen short-and-tank sets for women, though.
