My Head Hurts / West Edmonton Mall

An invigorating day! Spent quite a bit of time in the water park with my family ('tis a family vacation after all.) First a wave hit me in the face, then a tube hit me in the face, next my head was squashed between two tubes one of which was in my face, then a small child fell off of his tube into my face, and finally a person, whom I could not determine the gender of, drove their tube over my head and drove the ground into my face.  Next all of us went down the tropical typhoon, *cough* toilet bowl *cough* and I hit the water face first as well. I have a bit of a headache now... in my face.

The West Edmonton mall is an interesting place, a huge mall with myriad stores, fountains, statues, a skating rink, a theme park, and a water park. The water park is a personal favorite, both because of my love of swimming and my general ambivalence towards shopping. My sister plans on one day bringing me with her on one of the rides in the amusement park, which I shall most likely submit to with little fuss, as I don't find them particularly daunting even if I'm not especially drawn to them.

I don't really like malls, there are too many people in them.
