First visit to the beach!

Yes, I finally got a chance to go to the beach...It was absolutely goregous. We had perfect weather for our first time visiting the beach. Friday we stayed in at night, and during the day I went on another run. I am kicking myself for not taking my camera with me, as I found lots of interesting things on this one.
  • Apparently it is just as cool to write the "F" word on public property and walls in Australia as it is in America.
  • Australians too spray paint graffiti in quite impressive artsy words and male genitalia.
  • They write lyrics to American songs on sidewalks and strips of caulking on sidewalks.
  • They have absolutely stunning houses. I'll get some pictures of their homes shortly.
After a much needed recovery from my Goon filled Thursday night, Friday was a great day of rest for today's adventure. Me and 2 other lads went into Robina to attempt to donate blood. Apparently, due to all the flooding, counless blood banks lost all their supplies and are in desperate need of blood. They opened up their facilities on Saturdays in order to help with this lack of resource. Unfortunately for us, fortunately for them, all of their spots were full this morning, so we told them we would return sometime this week.
Then 4 buses, Koala Coaches if you will, loaded with Bond University students set out for an "Aussie Beach Day" at Broad Beach in Surfer's Paradise. It was so nice. This mornings weather was cloudy and rainy, but it ended up being hot and sunny, with a nice breeze. We were there for almost 4 hours when we headed back to Uni after a day of plenty of sun and water.
I got burnt, but not big time. I put on plenty of sunscreen mother, and reapplied very often. Except, I got burnt in the most awkward places. Lines of sunburn that seem completely out of place. As follows:

That was one streak on my forearm that got burnt.

 The picture I had here to much resembled my donk so I did not post it for obvious reasons. I apologize, but I have a mother and a reputation. Sorry for the inconvenience and let down.


 And the worst part of me that got burnt was.....


Correct...
My feet and legs! I guess I didn't think that I needed  to put any sort of sunscreen on them. I did however, remember to put it on the tops of my knees, but not my ridiculously white feet or my legs. Yes, it hurts. Yes, I'll remember it next time.

Well, I'm off to attemptingly drink the sunburn away!

Until then,
Wilson
