Tamu Tamu and Typhoon Lagoon

So my wish was granted I didn't have to work in Camp Minnie Mickey on Sunday! I got to work in Africa :) Tamu Tamu is a little "hole in the wall" that sells burgers, tuna pitas, and turkey sandwiches. In Swahili if you the name twice it means very or a lot. Tamu means delicious so Tamu Tamu means very delicious. There is a little Disney detail for ya! It is easily the busiest food place that belongs to ODF and quite possibly the busiest in the whole park. My job was filler for soda...so all I had to do was look at the screen, fill up the appropriate soda, and group them together to be put on a tray. It was crazy...I think we went through at least 15 stacks of cups and probably 30 plus gallons of ice. I had a blast and it was so nice not to have to work in funnel :)

Yesterday was my day off and so a few of us decided to go to Typhoon Lagoon. Katie and I went earlier than everyone else and did pretty much all the water slides we wanted to before our friends even got there. When Ola, Jaimee, and Molita got there we were playing in the wave pool which simulates the ocean and has waves that will really toss you around. I am curious as to how many times the lifeguards have to rescue people because they have one huge wave every 60 seconds or so that is crazy! Well come to find out that Ola can't swim and is scared to death of this wave that keeps coming. If you are in waist deep or so and just standing there, it will knock you down. And it did knock her down about three times before I decided we should probably go have a swimming lesson.

Well there is a reason you don't see many black people in the Olympics swimming. They are like cats meant for running fast and jumping...not meant to be in the water. Ola was hilarious trying to swim. She couldn't quite get the concept of continuing to kick your legs as you move around the pool. She would kick and float and then stop and start to sink...we made a little progress and then decided that was enough for one day and did some more water slides.

One of my favorite parts about typhoon is the lazy river that goes around the whole park. I could sit in there all day! The current isn't too strong but if you try to swim against it you will not be able to...

I have the day off again today and it will be spent doing laundry and laying by the pool until my class at 4. :)
