Lloret del Mar, Barcelona (More courage...)

This morning I woke up determined to do 2 things. 1. Get in the water. (Although I did tell myself, in the spirit of Emilia, that I'd still love myself if I chickened out...) 2. Go topless. I mean, how often will I get to hang out in Spain, on the Mediterranean? And if this trip is part of overcoming fears, well, no time for excuses. Here I am- preparing, jedi style...

The water actually felt good. I got in twice.

I had special good luck charms with me. Check out the sand.

This straw has got to be one of the best inventions ever.

Right next to us, there was a party of guys, celebrating a bachelor party. According to this guy, it is the custom in France to act really crazy and do as many stupid things as you can. This is 15 days til his wedding date. He and his friends had lots of props and a megaphone. This is one of the many outfits he donned throughout the day.

As you can see, many people were playing along with the fun, not just me.
