Sooo..amazingly great day here in southern Florida. Glad to be back here, all moved in and unpacked...have seen my old friends and made some new ones already. I went to a Full Moon Party Friday night at Morado Bay/ Islamorada. Great time, fire dancing, great costumes and parades, a live band with beach dance area and a dj/ dance floor and of course lots and lots of dancing!! I love to dance!! A big crowd too. We all drove out there and even though it took longer than we originally thought to get there, and parking was a mess, and it was pretty expensive to get in it was totally worth it!
Today, my first full day off since I got here so far I have successfully rolled out of bed to put a bathing suite on and hit the pool, then I got a lite lunch and hit the beach for some ocean paddleboarding. It is so much fun, if you haven't tried it before I definitely recommend it! We boarded through the channel to the marina area (where we found a manatee!!!) and went through a little cove off the beaten path. The manatee was circling around us and we were playing back and forth for a little while with it (it would go head of us then let us catch up, then come right next to and under our boards, then we would get ahead and it would come back around and swim next to us. It was so amazing! I named it Manny, and Amy named it Bubba. Haha I can't wait to go back (maybe tomorrow) and see if it is still hanging around this area!the wind made it a little tough to paddle back to shore, but it overall was a relaxing time, along with a good workout at the end. A guy even sprayed us down with a hose as we went by his house which was appreciated seeing as the temperature is in the 90's (and being on the water of course is windier but reflects more of the sun).
Later tonite I am going to a hot yoga class, and then over to help some sick pilot whales. I now have a wetsuit I borrowed so I will be a little more prepared. I am excited to do this and I will let y'all know what it entails once I have finished my shift! :) Woohoo!
