Petting The Creature That Killed Steve Irwin

So today was another eventful day at Myrtle Beach, went to Ripley's Aquarium, had some pseudo Mexican food at a really loud frog restaurant, more food at a burger joint where you could throw garbage on the floor and I ended my part by taking a slow stroll down the ocean's edge after dark and now I'm out on the balcony about a hundred feet from the ocean's edge finishing up this blog before bed.

I'll have to say that something I've never done is pet a stingray, but today that definitely happened. For some reason, I didn't even give it a second thought and immediately recoiled when I felt the slimy back of that thing and realized it was the animal that ended animal enthusiast Steve Irwin's life.

Also, this trip wins the award for having the most goofy photos of me ever. If you do some searching on this blog, MySpace and Facebook over the next few days, you'll probably see most of them.

Anyway, the ocean's waving me to dreams…
