Went snorkeling with whale sharks, dune-buggying on an old lava river, and bbq-ing on the beaches. Was an awesome 3-day weekend. The whale sharks were too big to get a good picture, and while my camera is water proof, it's tough taking pictures underwater. After the first two whale sharks, I stopped trying. But, we saw a bunch of them, they are humongous and wonderful animals. I swam along side them and felt their peace and simplicity.
With things like the garbage patch in the Pacific, the oil gusher in the gulf of Mexico, acidifying of the oceans, mercury pollution, they'll probably all be dead in 30 years, so I'm glad I got the opportunity while it's still safe to swim in the ocean to see the world's largest known fish.
I MUST hear all about the whale sharks. I am so jealous!!! Would also love to have a convo with you about the Great Pacific Garbage Patch. Lastly, "the world's largest known fish"... are you suggesting that there is an unknown LARGER fish out there? I would love to hear about THAT too ;)
