Catching The Waves of Laughter

We woke up in the morning to Surfer's piling into the parking lot and it looked like it was going to be an awesome day. We had a nice little breakfast of oatmeal cooked on our little gas stove by Camilla, and then Cami came out with me. She with her board and I with mine, we were a little surfing couple and we got out past the break without any problems. The waves were perfect and Cami paddled and surfed like a champ.  She got one really awesome one, stood up on it, turned a little bit and gave herself a little "Whoo Whoo" to finish it off. This day was probably the best one that we had surfing so far.  Lots of good waves, a good size and not too much current. There were a bunch of people out too, but every one was really friendly and smiley and a couple of older gents gave Cami some free tips which was nice. I again got the kite out to give it a try when I thought there was enough wind, as there was a little more than the last time, but even after kitelooping to get going I couldn't get going and eventually it crashed and I had to wrap it up. Oh well, hopefully there will be some wind soon.

We went back to Byron for a little bit, but we had seen the good stuff the day before and so we just walked around a little bit, till we saw some more kidcentric entertainment. Children's stand up comedy, as in the kids were the comedians. The kids were pretty funny and it seemed like they had come up with their own jokes about parents, siblings, and school. They all had pretty good stage presence and got us laughing a bunch of times. Also the host was pretty funny, she was a mid 40s overweight pregnant woman wearing a dress that was wayyyy too small for her, cracking jokes about how people think its gross that she's still breastfeeding her two and a half year old, and about how she used to get paddled w/ a wooden spoon, but she never saw her mom use it to cook, so when she went to college and saw someone using their wooden spoon to cook she said " Ew! get that out of the food, that's been on somebody's bum!" haha, and they say "bum" alot and it's funny w/ their accent. She had some good jokes, mostly about herself and we had a good laugh. 

After the stand up, we shared a burger and a salad at a bar across the way and listened to a guy playing the guitar and singing on stage while a woman went around saying how awesome this singer was and "listen to his lyrics" etc, and then she started dancing... and then she got kicked out, and we ate. We then grabbed dessert nearby and listened to another a street performer jam out on his guitar while we ate a mince pie.

We drove back to our spot, and settled in for the night after reading for a bit. Cami just finished the Hunger Games and I have just started it as well.
