I will tell you a story that is only half true. I
first went out of the country when I was about
20 years old. Some friends and I went to Hawaii
on a vacation. During our trip, we spent most of
the time lying around the beach.
One night, we went on a moonlight cruise.
The boat we went on had a glass bottom, so we
could see all the beautiful sea life floating
underneath us. The moonlight would hit the
glass just so, causing shadows to appear and
the sea creatures to seem almost mythological.
think it's one of the most beautiful things I have
-ver seen. So enraptured with nature were we
hat we didn't see the boat approaching ours.
Imagine my surprise when our boat tour was
oarded by pirates. We were literally scared
peechless. Luckily, they didn't speak a
nguage we could understand anyway.
I lost my camera with all of my pictures from our trip, the diamond studs
I had received as a high school graduation present, and my favorite
watch.
