I have had several adventures since my last post. I went snorkeling! I had a wetsuit! I also had a panic attack!!!! I didn't realize that the water would be that deep. When I say deep I mean that I could not see nor touch the bottom. We were in the freaking ocean. We actually did this during Christmas in Mosselbai (Mossel Bay). A very nice and highly populated area during the festive season (Christmas). So back to me freaking out, I was fine until I really looked down and realized that it was just really dark down there. I wouldn't see a shark until he was directly under me and I was dressed as a seal. A plump seal, aka a recipe for disaster. So I flipped out and our guide ( A really nice and patient young man, who didn't mind the chokehold that I had him in) took me back to shore. My kids were embarrassed and amused. I kind of drew a crowd (A small one), there was a restaurant located directly beside the place where we snorkeled. Okay, two restaurants. Some guy was yelling that he would let me know if he saw a shark (So, not helping the situation), then he offered to come in and help me (He was having this one way conversation with me while eating his lunch and sipping several glasses of wine). I had a guide and really wasn't too keen on a slightly inebriated man jumping in to help me. I've been snorkeling in Puerto Rico and the Dominican Republic the water was so clear, warm and beautiful and I was fine. I'll definitely try again but in shallower water. So, without further a due................Everyone snorkeling but me.
Timed Torture.
They fit this time.

It's so much deeper than it looks.

Well folks that's all that I have for the newest snorkeling debacle. My next post will be about the Chinese Lanterns that we sent off to ring in the new year and how many fire trucks were called in to remedy the situation.
