Elaine went diving!

Elaine went diving yesterday!

Until recently she's been very happy snorkeling and pretty much staying on the surface. Then she started free diving to see what's under coral ledges and to get a closer look at what's down there. Of course, once you start that, you want to stay down longer than you can hold your breath. That leads to wanting to breathe underwater which in turn leads to... SCUBA!

Our dive instructor/buddy and good friend Darryl gave Elaine "discover SCUBA" dive for her birthday. As he puts it, it's the "drug dealer's approach to SCUBA - give 'em a free one and get 'em hooked." Well, she pretty much is hooked. So she's starting her certification training. She's doing it along with our friend Marisol .

And...

I am riding Chocolate. I've been riding before and I really enjoy it. I'm just not very good at it. It doesn't matter - we get to share our favorite activities and passions.

Speaking of passions, last night we took our first salsa dance lessons. Stay tuned for more on that.
