I Snorkeled for the First Time
Okay, now you all have to do what I say. ;-) (Yes, this means you too, Scotius.)
1. Visit Ecuador - beautiful faces, colonial architecture, narrow alleys, iron balconies, majestic volcanoes.
2. Visit the Galapagos - stark beauty of the volcanic beaches, sea lions who try to steal your shirt, boobies who scope you for a new girlfriend, mockingbirds that live up to their name, frigate birds who poop on your hat with a thunderous plop, finches that fly practically right over your head, iguanas crouching on a rock next to your knee (to look up your shorts, maybe?).
3. Go snorkeling.
Listen, I was the worst swimming student in the world and I´m hooked.
Tomorrow I hope to see sharks! (And I bet some people over at Uncommon Descent wish that I would, too!)

Snorkeling is freaking awesome!
I did this in the caymans years ago and I transmogrified into a fish!
Cool trick: Find an underwater ledge or cave and dive head first and surprise all the fishies hiding under there.
OR
Find a flounder or a skate and play "I see you" until it gives up.
Or
Try picking up a sea urchin with your finger tips without getting impaled.
Tip - don't breath the water!
Does muff diving count?
(Ok, you knew I was gonna ask that, right? It was sorta obligatory, sorry.)
Sounds fun except for the part about getting your hat crapped on. I've snorkeled a few times in Hawaii and loved it. I hope I get to visit the Galapagos someday.
gyYeah, thanks, Barky. I went swimming off the ship, jumped in, thought I was holding my breath, but it was so damned cold I snorted up a whole bunch.
Vjack, actually, it wasn´t my hat! It was some guy´s - it sounded like the bird had dumped a tonload!
JanieBelle! I have missed you! Have you seen Margaret Cho doing her Are you gay? routine with her mom?
I was in the Virgin Islands several years ago. A friend handed me a snorkle and a diving mask. My remark at the underwater view: "WHOOOO!!! Doggies!!!
About the birds decorating your chapeaus: aincha glad cows don't fly?
Scotius
Is it true that You Tube videos play backwards south of the equator?
Watch a video about Creationism vs Evolution at the MInnesota Legislature.
I haven't seen her do that skit. I'll have to look for that on YouTube!
I've missed you, too!
Kisses
