raw

over the weekend i was body surfing in tel aviv with ezra and his friend johnny hall from nz. as the waves got progressively stronger it got harder and harder to stay afloat and not be swept and churned around in the undercurrent. at one point i got pulled under, flipped and my back scraped against the sand.

it was unpleasant.

i now i have strawberry on my lower back that is quite uncomfortable.

this morning i shaved. normally this wouldn't be a big deal, but i haven't shaved in about a month or more. i've just been trimming it up to this point. lucia you'll be happy to know that i now again look like i'm 12 - for the fans of the beard...it'll grow back. it took a while though to shave, the hairs just didn't want to release their hold on my face. my skin feels a bit sensitive, like it hasn't seen the sun or felt air for quite a long time.

here are also some photos that i took during lucia's last days here:

:D i actually just lifted my camera up in front of me, pretending to show lucia an image on the back of the camera like it had a screen there, and then just "snap". i tried to be really sneaky about it all, but as you can see, the whole back of the bus was looking at me :D and obvisouly, the old man in the front was not amused.
