I live in a town called Lake Orion, But i dont go in that lake. But I do go on my girlfriend's grandparent's lake. We swim and tub abd water ski. I used to live in another town an there was a lake in my subdivision. that was always fun to go in. Ive been to Panama City Beach in Florida for Spring break, my friends and i got drunk on the beach
Scuba diving. I love being able to travel to another world just by going down to the beach. It is fantastic to be able to move in full three dimensions (also up and down). The canyons that on land you must hike down and up to traverse you can instead just soar over. I had always dreamed of scuba diving but it has been less than two years since I got certified to do it.
You should learn to scuba dive when you get a chance then! Go to college in California and you'll be able to. It's really kind of calming. When you are down there the point is just to relax, go slow, and look around. If you move faster you use up your air faster. I started with snorkeling for a summer and then took the class at the end of the summer.

swimming in an underground lake inside a cave in Brazil. That was spectcular. The water was so clear and you could see rock formations deep below. It was very deep, maybe 30 meters, but it looked like 3 meters deep because of the clarity of the water. It is hard to conjure in words how surreal that was.
The cave was an hour or so out of the town I was in. Nearer to this town, all of the streams and brooks had water that was a reddish color because of the iron ore dissolved in it. When you filled up a water bottle to drink it the water looked like iced tea. I swam in small lakes where the water collected. When it gets deep it looks like it is black. The water in the caves I mentioned above was not cold, but in these small black lakes in the woods the water was frigid (but invigorating).
Nice sig seaapple. Sting ray, right? I cant see it that well. We went to an aquarium in Tennessee. The Gatlinburg Aquarium. And it was really awesome. They had sting rays and they had a walk in tunnel and they were swarming over the top and everything. It was neat.
We didnt get to go to the lake yesterday, stupid rain. Daniel still got to come over and we spent the day and had so much fun..Too bad its over. I dont know the next time I can see him. cry
