What a wonderful weekend! It began waytooearly Saturday morning, when Jonathan came by to pick me up and drive to Monterey. We procured caffeine and bagels with the spiciest, most delicious sundried tomato cream cheese, and headed south to the land of kelp forests.

A few hours later we were at Lover's Point in Pacific Grove, geared up and ready ( Read more... )

I am glad your interest in diving has been reknewed. Have you taken underwater pictures while diving? If yes, I wanna see pictures!

I used to do underwater photography, back when I first started diving. All the pics I took are slides, so I need to find a transparency scanner so I can put some of them up. These are the only two I have online so far:

Did you actually get to see the sunfish?
I sat in that room for at least half an hour, repeating to Mom, Charlotte, and Charlotte's Mom, "No, really, I'm sure it will swim by ANY MINUTE NOW."

The aquarium in New Orleans is also first-rate, if you ever happen to be there.

Yes, we did get to see it! Maybe it's less shy than it used to be, because it was hanging out near the front of the tank, looking squooshed like someone had stepped on it :)
