So, this is gonna be a long post, but it's awesome. You should totally suffer through it and live vicariously through me. I also catch an alligator. So yeah.

So, I am staying on Edisto Island. It's beautiful here, but it's very remote so there's 1 BiLo, and like 2 restaurants, but we're staying at a really cool resort, and we've got a condo all to ourselves, (my grandma, my sister, my uncle, and his two kids.) My uncles girlfriend, her parents, and her kid are also staying in their trailer somewhere else on the island. We've had a blast, we found sharks teeth, the waves are perfect for boogie boarding, we've got a Starbucks and a pool right in front of our condo, and a lake behind it that's filled with alligators. The wildlife here is CRAZY. There's dozens and dozens of turtles everywhere, I've seen several egrets, plenty of fish, and there's a golf course behind our condo where I've seen countless deer, but the alligators are the coolest. All of the animals are living in a resort filled with humans, so none of them are scared of us. I was fishing in the lake behind our condo, and there's was a little alligator in the pond too. I didn't pay much attention to it, it was too small for me to worry about it attacking me. I had a fish on the line, and I reeled it into the shore, but it got off my hook and flopped back into the water. This got the alligator's attention, and he swam within a couple feet of me. I cast my line a couple more times, until I accidentally cast it right over the gator. I started reeling it in, a bit wary, and the thing bit my line! I started reeling it in, very quickly, and the thing bit my line off. It was soooooo cool. So yeah. I am extremely sun burnt, to the point where I get stared at in public, and since every time I sit down. Also, the beach we go to, has ALOT of shells, and they get in your bathing suit, and the other day I found a two inch long one. Otherwise, it's pretty awesome here. EXCEPT FOR ALL THE FUCKING GIGANTIC FUCKING BUGS
