Last night was prtty funny we found a bit of shealter in a park in the middle of town as it was raining, we brought air beds yesterday at walmart so we pumped them up an went to sleep but about 3am we started getting real wet which was real strange but it was the sprinklers had turnd on and just spraying stright on to us, but i found a rock and put in on it, but we were still pretty wet. Sam got the most wet and with his $5 sleeping bag from walmart which wasnt keeping him very warm anymore bailed to the car to sleep and a skype call to Kat carying about being cold and wet.
i just carryed on sleeping as i was sooooo fu#king tyed.

sweet we gona paddle on the race course again an try learn it a bit more.
