Under the Sea
Hello friends, I completed my SCUBA certification today and in an hour am leaving on an overnight bus for the city of Hoi An.
I uploaded some photos, but I had to do it one by one and it took forever, so there are only 12 here:

We saw a Devil Scorpion Fish today. Pop quiz: is the Devil Scorpion Fish a) warm and fuzzy or b) deadly poisonous. It's quite poisonous. It looked a little like a dead fish to me. I guess it buries itself in the sand and waits to prick something and then eats it. We also saw an octopus, but I didn't recognize it as such. Clown fish, corals, cleaner shrimp, sea anemonies (got to touch some), etc. It was fun. We went down as far as 16 meters today. It doesn't really feel any different than being at 5 or so really, as long as you equalize the pressure in your mask and ears. The SCUBA was fun, but really tired me out. I ended up napping this afternoon.
That's all there is to report, really. Enjoy the photos!

Hi Lauren:
Another Habitat day! Took a couple of your recent blogs to "work" and Troy read them to the group. Great photos with today's entry! Thanks for your effort in getting them onto the Yahoo site. It didn't really take very long to download them, even with dial-up. I'll print a couple of them and take them along next week, our last time at the Goodrich site.
All the crew has been asking about you. Most of them asking "how can she be gone that long....alone???"
I guess it's our "age" showing!
Thanks for your frequent updates!

yo Lauren!!
dropped by to hear of what's up with you and to say hello
good to hear you completed your scuba course, it sounds like fun. i guess the water were clear enough to see all these strange creatures of the deep, so that's great and probably also means the weather is good (?)
enjoy Hoi An and hope to see you again
