Fish That Nibble Your Toes

This weekend I went to a river with a group of friends to go swimming.  It's nearly into the 90's everyday now, so we are practically melting.  The water wasn't even very cold, considering it was a river.  Hundreds of little fish infest it.  You can see them swimming around in the shallow water at the bank.  Kalyn and I had been there the day before, so we showed our friends that if you stand still for a minute about thigh-deep in the water, the fish come start nibbling at your feet.  It tickles a little bit and feels pretty strange when you aren't used to it, but they are harmless.  My friend, Meesh, made a noise between a squeal and a screech when they came up to her, because it took her by surprise.  She ended up sitting in the water for a long time, though, letting them nibble away. I think they fascinated her.  Me and Kalyn will probably go there almost every day now that it's hot.  I love the sound of the water.  I have to work on skipping rocks anyways.  It's not a skill I have mastered yet.
