Gary, My Pet Snail
Ok, I guess he's not that gross... but common... 3 nights I've tossed him outside & 3 mornings I've found him sleeping next to my bed.... well, isn't that sweet... NOT! I think I've heard salt is supposed to kill them... kind of like leaches... but I'm not quite ready to do that ~

The sparse room

This is the closet... but I do have 2!
For a $4.50 room (I bargained them down another $0.25/night), this place has a bit of charm. There's the not even close to the center wall hanging & the room's big & there's this very merry hook to hang your clothes. (No closet.) Plus there's a broom outside the room so if I use it, the room will be tidy (because the maid only comes when you check out). But so far I've only used that broom to sweep Gary out at night. And he is the same snail... I've been watching his shell break more every day... probably from when I bat him outside.

After my biking accident, I've been looking at other places. Everywhere is more than twice the price. Plus I think I kind of like my place. It sits right on the river... there's even a small boat you can use but there's no oars, just a bamboo pole! There's another guest with an inflatable pool mat that wants me to float down the river with him... the hotel actually sits on a tributary...he says it get really interesting once you hit the main river! The rest of the guest are great, there's always a group chatting by the river & there's even an old Bristish stoner that gets everyone high whenever. ... Yeah, I'll stay at the same place.
