away

it's been a good trip so far. we went to a nature preserve yesterday. there wasn't much wildlife but lots plants in the mangroves. we went to the largest book store after. i got an old book about tracking animals. we've seen some movies this week. gareth had already reviewed district nine. he thought i'd like it but it really wasn't enjoyable for me. everyone else liked it thugh. we saw surrogates friday morning. it was prett decent. those aren't movies i'd normally see in theaters anyways. we actually went to a blockbuster last night. they wanted to see jaws but i convinced them to get something else that wouldn't scare me so much. so we got sunshine. which turned out to be pretty scary anyways. we should be heading to the beach later today. hopefully it won't be too sunny out. i got a bit too much sun yesterday. and a bit too much rain the other night. we went to busch gardens' howl-o-scream. erin and i had just gotten on the scrambler that no one else wanted to ride and it started pouring. we were soaked the rest of the night. but it was a lot of fun. we went in some haunted houses. i was the only one screaming. it doesn't take much to scare me. but gareth will hold my hand. i've had a good time just getting away.
