Underwater

Wow! I'm loving your adventures and all the pictures. I'm so fascinated by underwater life but the only time I ever snorkled I had an anxiety attack and almost drowned ;-( Miss you! Cheryl
Catching up on your adventures today. I'm glad you were OK and the diving mishap wasn't serious (and that you weren't eaten by crocs).
I'm really intrigued by your visits to Kata Tjuta and Uluru (the sacred Aborigine places) back in November. Must be the sociologist in me - I was always fascinated by Emile Durkheim's Elementary Forms of the Religious Life. (But unlike you, he never even set foot in Australia. Boy, did he miss out!) Also, the pictures reminded me of the caves we saw in Cappadocia that were used by early Christians as hiding places.
What happened to the little piglet that befriended you? Is he still following you? :-)

Thanks, as always, for the advice, Brett. We should go diving (and sailing). Miss you, too, Cheryl. Glad you're alive. Remember the words of Douglas Adams in HGttG: "Don't Panic" (and always carry a towel ;)
Chad, that happens to be the only thing I'd read by Durkheim (in Maria Vesperi's anthro class at New College). I don't remember much of it, but the sacred always draws me; whether or not the place is sacred to me, the place evokes something great, divine, peaceful. Uluru, even though it's not as sacred as Kata Tjuta, seemed really really peaceful -- such a solid rock sitting there alone in the sun.
The piglet, unfortunately, was very likely eaten. :(

Oh and a good piece of advice I got from my first dive instructor was to skip on cave diving altogether because anybody can die at any time.
Woo Hoo Cheryl on make it back alive!

Just thought you ought to know.
