Speaking of touristy things to do in San Antonio, we went to Sea World this weekend as part of Ashley’s birthday celebration week (All of our friends get a full week of birthday festivities, since one day isn’t enough). Now, we’re probably the only Texans who haven’t been to Sea World before, so now that we’re entering our late 20’s, we figured it would be a great time to watch some whales shake people’s hands and such. And no one is too old to watch sea lion detective duo Clyde and Seamore solve the mystery of disappearing fish.

The shows were actually really cool, and the rides were a blast. After today, I decided that I will visit water parks more often. I forgot just how much fun waterslides and wave pools are. I feel a Schlitterbahn trip coming very soon.

Another first this weekend was when we went to the Sheesha/Shisha Cafe. Where I come from, they call them “hookahs”, but on Babcock Road in San Antonio, there are sheesha places everywhere. We tried the watermelon-flavored tobacco, and it was quite fun to smoke and lasted forever.

So what did we learn? 1) Dolphins are really damn smart, 2) Everyone should ride waterslides more often, and 3) It’s much funner to smoke through a hose you share with your best friends than it is to smoke cigarettes. That is all.
