Last night Ben asked if I wanted to join him to go see Bra Boys, a documentary about a surf gang near Sydney, Australia. He came over, and then after a quick detour, we headed to the theater to catch the movie. We were able to use the free tickets I had obtained from the grocery store, since they were valid for any movie. Gotta love free movies!

The film was interesting—I didn’t even know this group existed, nor did I know about the politics of being allowed on the beaches in Australia through the years. There were apparently some crazy laws back in the day! Ben also learned stuff from the movie, as he only knew about some of the infamous run-ins with the law, not about the whole culture that went behind it. And man those dudes are pretty crazy.

Today the weather has been sooooo nice and warm. It’s the type of weather that is good to be outdoors but that is pretty stifling if inside my apartment. I think it was at least upper-80s today, and with that in mind, I headed down to the beach for the peak hours of sun.

The beach was surprisingly not TOO crowded—though there are so many beach options, it’s entirely possible everyone was just somewhere else along the coast. I brought a book and just chilled, read, and people-watched. I also got to see the dolphins and pelicans that are always out in the water. I put on a bunch of that magic sunscreen of mine since I’ve long since lost my color from last summer, so while that probably made me safe from burning, I am hoping a few rays were able to get in and not make me look so scarily pale.

Tomorrow is forcasted to be more of the same, so I am thinking I might have to do a repeat of the beach—down by the water it was perfect—not too hot and a nice breeze making it very comfortable to just hang out in the sun for hours. Much better than a stuffy apartment. On that note, it’s still hot in here, so I am thinking I might go see where else I can stay cool!
