Magnetic Island-A Little Piece of Heaven

05/07/2004

Today I WILLINGLY stayed on a sunny beach for four hours. Those who know how much I abhor the sun understand that this must truly be a spectacular beach. Will post picture later.

I also ate a green ant. They are normal looking ants with neon green butts full of acid. If you can eat them before they bite you, I'm told that they taste like lemonade. Ya, if you're making really bitter, sugarless lemonade. Yuck!

Post publishing note: I am now told by two Australian sources that they have never tried them nor know of anyone who, in their right minds, have tried them either. I think it might have been a paragraph in the Lonely Planet to get naive foreigners to try stupid things. It worked.
