Hurray for not being super sick! I hope you find you can eat more than just rice soon, because yes,the all you can eat (as long as it's rice) diet is pretty boring.

I am also not a terribly beachy person, though I can enjoy it under the right circumstances. I just dislike getting sunburnt, getting sand all over everything (esp. in my clothes and hair), and getting tossed about by waves (seawater up nose especially icky). I do enjoy swimming generally, and spending time with friends, and walking, and finding odd shells and things, though.
