First Day

 Nov 20, 2022

    I woke up from a beautiful sleep. Pablo was gone. He’d left very early to open the taco stand. He’d only had a couple hours of sleep. I got out of bed and saw Yoga! She came running over. We hugged and talked for a bit. She said that I had to get ready because we needed to go to the taco stand. So we went downstairs and got in the car. Unfortunately the car wouldn’t start because the batteries had died. We called an Uber.

    When we got to the market we found Pablo and Jorge. They gave me some free tacos. It was so delicious. The market was just ending, and so they were starting to take everything apart. I stood by and watched them work. Pablo asked if I could give them a hand but I kindly refused. I said that I’d had a long flight the day before.

    So after that we went to the beach. We took some boogie boards. There were lots of Australians swimming in the waves. Compared to Bali, the water was freezing. Compared to Canada I guess it was pretty warm. We played in the waves for a little while. Eventually I got too cold and sat on the sand. Yoga came over and sat next to me. She asked what I wanted out of my trip in Australia. I told her I just wanted some new experiences and to meet cool people and continue playing guitar and maybe even make contact with an extra-dimensional civilization. She said that sounded cool. 

    After that we went to the grocery store. I saw that they were selling Kangaroo meat. I begged Yoga and Pablo to buy it for me. They said no, because they’re both vegetarian. 

    We went to Dominos and got pizza. We bought about five boxes to share. We took our feast to the beach. As soon as the car was parked, Pablo bolted from his seat and ran over to the water. He said he’d been holding his pee since that morning. He had a nice long pee into the waves. 

    We looked at the enormous clouds as we enjoyed our dinner. The clouds seem so much bigger here compared to Toronto. They look more heavenly here. 

    After that we got ice cream. Then we drove home and went to bed.
