Shark Video

I decided that pictures don't the shark dive justice so i put together this movie of it from videos i took on the dive.  I tried to get the video to upload, but it wouldn't work for some reason so i put it on youtube.  here's the link for it.  enjoy!  Swimming with the sharks

Swimmin' the Sharkies

Last week i did something very crazy and fun...i swam with sharks!!  It was so amazing!  We took a boat ride about 3 miles off shore and were then lowered into a cage while with snorkel gear on so we could stay underwater and see all the sharks.  We saw two kinds of sharks, Galapagos and sand sharks.  They averaged about 8-10 ft, but there were a couple of 12-footers swimming around us.  And there were about 10 sharks swimming around the cage while we were down there.  SO COOL!! 

OOOPS!! i did it again!

on friday i was hiking to this beautiful waterfall in the mountains of hawaii and on the way back down i slipped while crossing a big stream. it was very wet and muddy, and my shoes had no traction on them. i fell backwards and tried to catch myself, but landed on my hand. i wasn't too concerned at first, but then it started swelling and hurting more so i wen't in and got it x-rayed on saturday and they said it was just sprained, not broken. so it's in a splint for the next couple of days. it happened to my right wrist, so it's been really hard lately doing everything with my left hand. the biggest problem is that i have a big dance performance on wednesday...so hopefully everything will go well with that still. we'll see...
