This is as big as my hand.

Went to the island today, beautiful views of the ocean and city, and also a 6 inch wide (with legs) spider that looked so real it looked fake. I didn't have the nerve to put my hand next to it for comparison, for obvious reasons, but trust me, it was as big as my hand.

Weather's beautiful today. Leaving to Beishan Hall 30 minutes away, a traditional Chinese Heritage Building, to learn calligraphy and Tai Chi.

Heather and I waterpainted last night.

The view from the island. My apt is in the middle somewhere.
