Very exciting finds in the ocean, but sometimes the stomache needs to be strong as the waters can be quite choppy.

Though ours in the U.S. tend to be way to sought after by tourists.<br />We south across the country to Texas this past week, and I had really wanted to visit Padre Island, but due to Spring Break & college students partying, it is said to be "standing room only" there. So we stayed to the Hill Country inland. <br />While I like islands, I love solitude & quiet more. Maybe everyone flocks to the island to get away.. but really they've spoiled it by their numbers. <br />Anyway, your islands are beautiful, and your writing & photos are very eloquent, too. <br />We do enjoy somewhat of an island life when we travel 500 miles further north of us where we have a cabin in remote northern Ontario, CA. There, too, we have experienced fire danger, and have felt pretty safe on our island.amandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14413812739575222069noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7057604927035176441.post-11655802058042720162013-03-24T05:23:16.438+11:002013-03-24T05:23:16.438+11:00An amazing place!
