Volume 16 - Day 150/216, 2024 - Wednesday

Today is actually yesterday (according to the posts), so try to keep up. Please. Yesterday was an early day, we had our last two dives at 8:30 in the morning, and then Paulina and Oliver had to take their written test. The short answer is, they both passed, but if you ever see them walking around, ask them for the REAL story. Both the dives were good, the last two make a total of 8 dives for me, which in NOTHING compared to the numbers of dives other people have. Fortunately, I do have a life outside Scuba. You probably remember what SCUBA stands for if you are old enough to remember Sea Hunt but if you don't, there is always Google. There was a pretty good current in the water yesterday, which made it fun and not so fun at the same time. It you wanted to follow the current, all you did was nothing, but if you wanted to be somewhere opposite the current, that was a bit of the struggle. All-in-all, a good time was had by all, and I am still breathing. After lunch, I went and walked the dogs while Paulina and Oliver took their tests. Early evening was consumed mostly with napping, and Paulina and I rose up and left for dinner at about 7PM. We had a nice dinner, then we walked down Fifth Avenue to see one of the memorials (see photo) and watched a while. Each way walking was about 25 minutes from the condo, and on the way back, Oliver decided he was hungry. Let it be know that the McDonald's on Fifth Avenue is the hottest place on earth, and presumably, the heat causes the service to lag. Just saying. Today is a not so busy day, hopefully I will be about to add a couple scuba picks to Facebook and the journal later today. Keep your fingers crossed, my confidence in the reliability of the blogpost site is waning.
