Thanksgiving is a very important part of American culture. Black Friday is considered as the day after Thanksgiving day. For what reasons, it is considered as Black Friday, I did not find out yet, but for me, it was a day to never forget.
Have come to Florida for Thanksgiving weekend. Spent most part of Thanksgiving day on beach, playing american football and making sandy mountains with tunnels in them. It was a wonderful day yest. Today, we decided to do all the Black Friday shopping, we have come to Panama City, Florida and the malls here are pretty good. Bought something from almost every store here, good deals for Thanksgiving! No! did not buy any electronics, mainly some clothes.
Then we decided to go jet skiing. Last time had done that in Patayya, Thailand, its pretty simple, until we realized the might of the water, especially when it is the ocean. We had rented 2 jetskies , 90bucks for 2 hours of jet skiing seems lot of fun and yes it was lotta fun indeed, I even touched 35mps on my jet ske. After around one hour, tragedy struck. I was driving mine with my sister sitting behind and my brother-in-law was riding with my mom behind him.
They somehow lost the balance and the jet ske toppled in the water, sounds non-threatening, untill you add three factors, first no lifeguards, second they dint know swimming, and finally it was the ocean. I was in my jet-ske and felt like jumping and trying to help my brother-in-law, my mom was saved by other jet skiers. I felt like jumping in the ocean to save my brother-in-law, but my sister said no to me as that would result in imbalance of our jet ske and was very risky.
Finally a bunch of folks with a motor boat saved my brother-in-law. It was an experience to remember. I did topple around three times in canoeing a couple of months back, but that was in a stream of river, this was the ocean and today we experienced its might!
