Ssssssssnaaaaake!

It finally happened — I saw a snake! An Eastern Brown, to be exact.

I was working at the hotdog van (with a beautiful view of the beach) when a customer pointed out some commotion and mentioned there was a snake. I was already halfway out the door while asking my boss if I could go have a look. 😄

There was quite a crowd when I arrived. People were staring at the snake, keeping a bit of distance (encouraged by the lifeguards), but not quite realizing the danger when the snake suddenly came a little too close for comfort — prompting the lifeguards to frantically call everyone back. 😅

Eventually, the snake slithered up the beach, past the van, and into a restaurant. From where I stood, all I could see were people suddenly jumping to their feet.

All in all, it was exhilarating — and I can’t wait to see another snake! 🐍😄Read more
