Day two at the beach.
My brother and I spent most of the day amusing ourselves with feats of science, skill and daring:
- Knocking a hacky sack back and forth with karate blows
- Trying to juggle while one of us hung upside down from the porch stairs (impossible, it’s difficult to even catch a single toss).
- Eating little bits of habanero pepper
- Balancing on the porch railing, and trying to jump directly to said porch railing without the use of hands
- kayaking in the ocean
- Playing air hockey.
- Evaporating water to isolate salt
In addition, there was much talk about isolating iodine from seaweed, but an acceptable method has not been found. The ones available involve both chlorine and sulfuric acid. No good.
My dad and I walked and identified birds, and everyone sat out in the sun and became a bit more pink. Dinner this evening was bliss. Fresh cucumber pickles, seveche (sea scallops), shrimp, marlin, and a little bit of leftover marlin from last night.
Tomorrow, we plan to purchase, like, 10 watermelons and destroy them using fierce karate blows. If possible, we will capture the moment using stroboscopic photography. This vacation rocks.
