Love the Halloween body paintings on some of the young ladies. Ha. Have you been, by-the-way? |
No, I have never been to Fantasy Fest, but I have seen all my parents photos of it. Amazing the paint job they do even on bare women tops and then everyone walks down main street having a great time parting. It is kinda like mardi gras.
My dad usually goes out in the boat everyday and often goes out with a captain friend of his to fish. The fish they catch sell to the local restaraunts. This way they have to fun of fishing and make back the money in gas by selling the fish. All their left overs go over their dock (they have their own dock in the backyard) to feed the fish, parrot fish, lobster, etc... They have a canal that goes up behind their house and it goes into the Gulf. It is really weird to swim in the canal - so deep you cannot see the bottom. I was always afraid of sharks, but the beginning of the canal is somewhat shallow and the sharks do not usually get into the canals.
When we went snorkeling once with them - my daughter stepped on a stingray. It blended in so much with the sand she did not know it was there. We have had some pretty good times down there.
Lobstering is not what it use to be. Many of the cages/traps get broken in to by other people at night.
