Chronicles from a Catalan Dolphin

This blog is about the crazyness-turned-laughing about living in USA and surviving to it.
Hey, better laugh about than cry about, right?

I write from Ohio, where I am doing my Ph.D. at Kent State University. Tough science, rough parties and global roomates...

A Sea in Ohio? Na...its a lake, the Westbranch Lake. Just leaving the harbor a US Lake guard patrol boat trashed us with a ton of paperaisse and regulations: No swimming in the lake, no skiing 300 feet from the shore, lifevests are mandatory -like he said "yes, you all are babies who can't swim"- and a long blablabla always ending with the remark "I don't want to fine you". For the un-initiated this means they will throw you a $160 fine, handcuff you, mugshot and you will spent a night in a rotting jail. Yep, 100% U.S.A.  Anyway, we managed to stay afloat, avoid drownings, more patrol boats and we took some pictures of the nice countryside, like these swimmers enjoying 10% less gravity:

Compare this beach with Costa Brava, no wonder Americans love the Mediterranean...But the boat was fun afterall:
