So here was one of the most fun things I've gotten on this vacation: a temporary wolf tattoo!

There was a stand on Hollywood Beach offering airbrush tattoos (swim-proof and shower-proof!) for $5. The tattooes are supposed to last for two weeks. I planned to get either a butterfly or a dragon, but even though there were several versions of both of those, my obsession with wolves won out in the end.

Every time I look down and see my wolf tattoo, I beam. (And howl, very quietly, to myself.)

Sadly, I am far too much of a wimp about pain to ever get a permanent version. But I'm really enjoying being a temporary wolf.
