Part 4: Return to the Beachfront

good morning from the sunny shores of outer banks! it makes me sad that the week is half way over already! i guess the saying is true about time flying by when you're having fun. i can't say everything has been fun and games though. as luck would have it, the car decided to break while i was driving tuesday morning. what a better way to start the day! -_-

a few of us (girls anyway) were going to get some more fruits and veggies from a farmers market, when suddenly the battery light came on, the power steering went, and a couple minutes later the car overheated and told me to pull over safely.

awesome! right?

we called the guys and they met us at the ace hardware where we were stranded. ron and i stayed behind to wait for a tow, while the others left to get ze veggies. we were there for an hour and a half, the car was there all day yesterday, and we finally got a call this morning saying it should be done today, and its gonna be about $350. best day evar. cars are dumb, and that's why we are taking mine next time we go on a long trip.

ANYWAY. there wasn't really much we could do, so by the time we got home, we gave up and went to the pool. i got a headache and went to lay down, only for that to not work well and decided a run might help, blistered feet and all. (i went for another "run" on monday morning to get one of the crew's inhaler, and went barefoot since flip flops are not meant for running. good deed for the week, even though my feet were sad. they're doing much better now though.)

i still need to make it to the beach to run though. i have been planning this for a while now. maybe tomorrow morning, as long as it's not too gross out. it is plenty humid today. i'd like to go to the beach again, but who knows. half of the crew went to the elizabethan gardens for a bit, while the other half of us are staying in/home/doing something else.

well, enough of my whining about things. most of the other stuff is going okay. here are some more pictures of our adventures in the last couple days!

carrying me because my feet were crap

clashing waves- a bromance novel (sounds pretty interesting, right?)

these were mostly from monday night. the bro pic was from tuesday after the car incident. by the sounds of it, we are about to head back there in a bit to chill out for a while. for the sake of catching up, though, i am gonna cram yesterday's adventure into this post as well!

we made it a most of the day trip to drive to the island of ocracoke! i had never been there before, so it was pretty exciting! we rode a ferry, car and all! we also rented bikes once we got to ocracoke village and spent the day wandering around.

aww yeah. ocracoke lighhouse, bikes, frozen strawberry pie, and pancakes this morning! i have a couple more pictures, we watched a storm kind of roll in last night, but i can save those for the next one. i think this is good for today. at this point, i am ready for the beach, and ready to not give anymore fucks for a little bit. imma go get ready for that. thanks for reading!
