I accidentally ordered vegan ice cream today. I’ve really been wanting some ice cream, so after lunch, I found a little shop that said “homemade ice cream.” I didn’t notice until after I ordered that it also said “vegan.” I’m not sure what’s in vegan ice cream. It wasn’t bad. It had a good chocolate flavor, but it didn’t melt. It was cold and mostly had a texture like regular ice cream, but it was scorching hot today and my ice cream didn’t melt. It had a very thick, silky texture, so it must be made with some sort of plant-based oil. I need to look it up. I’m not sure how I feel about it, but it is convenient that it doesn’t melt here.
I checked my animal cam this morning. The little agouti was back but I mostly had pictures of raccoons. The raccoons here are exactly the same as raccoons in the United States, so the pictures were pretty boring. The squirrels are at least uniquely colored, but not so with the raccoons. I’ll post a picture below so you can all verify that the raccoons are exactly the same.
I signed up for a snorkeling trip today. I’ll get to do that on Sunday, so that should be fun. There’s an island close by that’s supposed to have good snorkeling. The trip will be dolphin/turtle watching and snorkeling. I’m looking forward to it, although last time I tried to do a boat trip here, everyone in the boat, including me, got seasick. I think I have some Dramamine that I may take ahead of time and I’m hoping it will be a better boat or calmer water. The water around the island is supposed to have a good variety of fish, octopus, rays and other animals so I’m looking forward to going.
I got up at 6:30 am to go check my animal cam, get breakfast from the bakery and lift weights before class. I’m not usually a morning person, so I’m completely wiped out tonight.
