Beach Day!!



Well this is our first official "At the beach" picture! In the background is Surfers Paradise. It is basically all along the coast, it only goes inward like maybe 7 blocks. So it is more of a coastal city. We had quite the interesting day at the beach! We found out very quickly after we got there that you are free to wear whatever you want....or nothing at all! I guess a lot of the girls don't want tan lines so they decide "Hey why even wear a top!" so that was a bit awkward. There were kids everywhere, and men, and ughh. So gross! We did convince ourselves to go swimming in the actual ocean today though. As we walked upon the beach you could see a whole bunch of "Stingers" that had been carried up. We took a picture of them because we thought they looked so cool! They are like mini jellifish and I guess they attach themselves to you and sting you quite hard, we have been told that it hurts a lot! There were so many washed up on the beach so we couldn't even imagine how many were in the actual water! You have to swim out pretty far to get into deep water though. There are a lot of sand hills that you have to walk through. We are officially done at B Smart, and we are so happy! It was just way too boring. We are ready to start working somewhere exciting! Today we just spent the afternoon shopping around and sitting by the water. I love it here how you can go look through all the stores and shop but then you can do it all again the next day and it never gets boring! haha. We then went and got a big load of grocerys to stock up the fridge. Luckily we found a cart lying in the road on the way home because it gets so tiring walking so far with all the grocerys. So here we are walking down main street pushing a grocery cart full of food. We have also gotten hooked on the show "The Biggest Loser" so we had to be home in time to watch that! Sitting out in the sun all day really tires you out so we are just spending the night relaxing watching some tv and reading. We have heard that the weather is soooo cold at home, so I guess we decided to come here at the right time! We wish that you could all come here and visit and see what we have been blabbering on about! I am so excited to hear all your replies and that people are actually reading this thing! We have so much fun telling you what we are up to each day. We really miss everyone though! And we absolutely love hearing from you and talking to you. I got to talk to Tami today and it just made my day so much better!!! We hope you are all doing well! Love Tandri and Brittni

Hey guys,
looks pretty fabulous. It's not easy to sit here and look at these beautiful pictures while it's -30 outside! But so good to hear that you are having fun and enjoying all the sunshine! Arlen and I are headed to the dominican in a couple weeks. It may only be a week, and it's not surfers paradise, but i'll take anything warm right now!
