Portuguese Man O War

We explored the beaches this weekend and found out that spring is Portuguese Man O' War season! In Erie, PA at Presque Isle, we were used to seeing baby diapers and decaying fish washed up on the shore, so these little blue guys were a big surprise. Just kidding, Lake Erie isn't that dirty! Wikipedia says that the Man 0' Wars have a very powerful, painful sting, so we will be staying away from them.

I took Limerick to the beach today. She was scared of the water. I think she was trying to drink it and found out that salt water isn't too tasty! Every time a wave crashed onto her feet she jumped and ran. The sunbathers on the beach found it entertaining.

Big news! Our crate arrived on the Oleander (a big ship) today! We think we will have our things by the end of the week. We can't wait.

Until next time...
