Today's summary: Photos, vacation in Chincoteague.

We spent a week in Chincoteague at Maria's parents' beach house, with Josh and flyingcar. Really nice, really fun. We watched tons of bad kung-fu movies too!

		Here's our setup at the beach, on the island of Assateague. Assateague is the beach/wildlife preserve island right next to Chincoteague.
		My husband Orlando and my friend flyingcar. Orlando's been growing his hair out... check out that 'fro!
		My friend Josh. He LOVES the beach here.
		Here's my husband strangling Josh.
		I started out building a sandcastle. Then I changed my mind and started digging a bathtub instead. Then I changed my mind again and voila, a bathcastle.
		Another view of the bathcastle and/or sandtub. It held water pretty well, too, I filled it using a bucket before I finally decided to dig the gate.
		Sunset. Nice day!
		The islands of Assateague and Chincoteague are famous for their wild ponies (ever heard of "Misty of Chincoteague"?). Here's some of 'em. I wonder if the brand indicates the year they were born?
		Some people letting their kids pet wild animals. They're lucky they didn't get bitten or kicked, according to Josh...
		A very, very cool junk shop that was down the street from the beach house.
		Here's the outside of the beach house, the left half of a duplex. Tiny but good. And free. That's always a plus.
		Kitchen indoors, and flyingcar.
		Table indoors, woo.
		Living room indoors, and Orlando. This was a REALLY TINY house, I didn't move an inch to take those last three photos... just turned 120 degrees each time.
		I saw this cat sitting in the middle of the road outside, far off, and decided to take a picture.

Yes, it's true -- I made it through the whole trip without there being ANY pictures of me! Nyahahah!
