Scuba Diving

I just got sent a bunch of photos from a friend who was diving in the galapagos last month - OH. MY. GOD. They are so stunning and beautiful, just truly awe-inspiring. So i may have no choice but to take a scuba diving class and figure out how to go to these corners of the world where nature is still in its fullest flower. Holy shit this stuff just looks amazing, on sea and on land. THIS is reaching out and grabbing life, and what is there if not that? Which of course makes the sender, whom i was already fairly interested in, now wildly attractive... but that's another story.
