Jealous?

This is going to lack a lot of words, because this week is hard to describe. It is better in pictures and in my mind, words will not do it justice.

I spent the week with the tides dictating my schedule, the stars dancing under and above me feet, and the ocean acting as my bathtub. My hair was like straw, and everytime I smiled I could taste the salt.

I felt completely alive and happy to the point of bursting.

We spent our time snorkeling, looking at sting rays and cray fish, and my halloween was spent studying maori fishing practices, and waking up early to watch the most beautiful sunrise.




I sat on the warm rocks playing cat in a tank top and shorts and thought about how it was November.


We had a guest speaker who played pirate and found lost treasure, and was one of the pioneers of scuba diving.


We had a sunny boat ride to Poor Knights, one of the top ten dive sites in the world. Where we got to snorkel in the largest sea cave in the world, swim and play with a seal, and follow a pod of bottlenose dolphins as our hands grazed their fins as they playfully jumped around us.


Then this weekend we drove through the country side, laughed as we turned around to see a 'kiwi', and got lost too many times. We ended up on 90 mile beach in the sun, swimming in a suprisingly warm ocean, and celebrating guy fox day with some 13 year olds.



perfect. amazing. too hard to get into detail.



love you, miss you... all that jazz.

Yes, I am SO jealous - the water looks so blue and wonderful. I am glad you are finally getting some warmth and yes, it is COLD here in Washington. Glad I was able to talk to you on the phone. Love you and miss you!
