Oh, wow...

For years and years and years, I've wanted to have the opportunity to swim with wild dophins (so that I knew it was something they *wanted* to do), preferably with a group that does their best to take care of the environment into which they bring people.

I think I've finally found the place I want to save up to go to. http://www.divinedolphin.com - Now, I need to save up enough to go for a reasonable amount of time. Preferably not during their high touritst season. Although going in the middle of Feburary certainly has its appeal.

Probably not for over a year from now, since I need to save up, and want to attempt to go to APCs and visit my sister in Chile in December.

And, unrelated, a book suggestion: Mutant Message Down Under, by Marlo Morgan.

Mutant Author down somewhere

I don't like that book. It's written as if the stuff in it had actually happened, but it hasn't. Most obvious problem: a white person cannot just go out and walk through Australia for months without sunscreen...
On a different level: some books do trigger a rather strong "yes, this is true" feeling (in a spiritual sense) when I read them. The early stuff of Richard Bach, for instance, or Osho, or Callenbach ("Ecotopia"), for instance. This one didn't.

Dolphins

Go for it.

My one experience with dolphins was on a sailboat cruise in the Mediterranean. You don't see them often; most people never do and are skeptical about there even being any dolphins there. So, all they did was play in the bow wave of our boat for an hour or so. Still, it was awesome.

Anyway, I guess I'll save that URL. Someday ...
