Tela and Pasku

Tela and Pasku

Good evening friends, o’l one leg here.  Well today it is actually a bit better, not a lot, but better.  So even though I am injured I still went on a dive this morning with our two dolphins, Tela and her baby Pasku and trainer Zenzi.  Before I even got in the water it seemed like everything was going wrong all at once!  The skies were dark and overcast, the sea had turned rough and once underwater I quickly found out someone had turned the current on without asking me first!  For those of you who have never swam in current using just one leg, well it’s a serious workout!!  I was breathing so hard trying to fight the current that I could hardly concentrate on the dolphins and my task at hand, I looked like a non-stop bubble making factory!  Well thank goodness for Zenzi, she did her job great and kept turning the dolphins towards me so all I had to do was to just sit and wait in mid-water.  Little Pasku was so cute, he is so curious, he would swim right up to me and just stop, look at me in the face and squeak something out in dolphin language then he would turn his whole little body sideways and wait for me to pet him, it was wonderful!!  The dark sky above created this cool image you see here, momma and baby out for a morning swim in the open ocean, it doesn’t get any better than that! 
 
After my fun morning I then spent the afternoon racing around town doing my “man chores”.  These include going grocery shopping, getting gas, dropping off the laundry ect… you get the point.  Ever since we have been here I mainly do the running around town stuff and Aimee cooks and does dishes, it works for me!!
