Fire and Ice.

You may be wondering why the title of this article is “Fire and Ice”. As people threw up on our latest passage you could see the color of their inner dragon. Anthony’s inner dragon is fiery (strangely similar to the color of hot cheetos). Mine is crystal, probably due to the fact that I hardly ate any food the entire passage. Did you know Jazier likes to play dress up? Expeditions and passages are full of surprising facts like these.

When we were in St. Augustine we went to a Chinese buffet. It was immaculate and all everybody got was seafood except Jazier. Jazz said even if he wasn’t allergic he still wouldn’t eat seafood because he thinks it is disgusting. Don’t get me wrong, the seafood wasn’t gourmet but it was good after only sandwiches for two days. If we go back, the rest of the crew and I will probably get the same thing again.

In addition, when we were in St. Augustine a really nice woman named Ms. Donna decided to treat us at a place named Sarbez. Sarbez has gourmet grilled cheese sandwiches and an arcade. Ms. Donna came with a really big bag of quarters for us to play with. Sarbez had a bunch of really cool games most being cool pinball machines. There was one game that drew me in, though I lost all my money playing it and I think it left me with a gambling problem.

Arcade Adventures

When we reached West Palm Beach after a two and a half day passage, we stopped for the night and didn’t do much that day. The next day however was more active. We went to go get the rental van, passing a boat show and a car show along the way. We went to Walmart and then a YMCA to get showered. The next day was really fun and tiring. We went to a water park and we were there for eight and a half hours. Cam and I are definitely sunburnt. I chilled out in the lazy river the whole day.

In conclusion, this expedition has not been that bad. There have been some troubles. I’m still clearing out my right ear, and Ryan got so much chlorine in his eyes that it hurt him for hours. People now call Anthony and I dragons because we were throwing up so much on passage. Together, we are the fire and ice dragons. I genuinely can’t wait to see if I have any other inner dragons. Stay tuned to find out next week.
