So, I'm not really into planes, or piloting, or getting sunburt, but the World Series Air Show was awesome! The competition was Thursday-Sunday, and my friends and I caught the tail end. (What that a pun? Not sure) Anyway, these pilots were crazy! Flips and spirals and getting way to close to the water for comfort, and....................the U.S took the championship! He wasn't the most humble champion I've ever seen, which makes things is a bit awkward when you're the only US citizen in a crowd of hundereds. Oh well! I sat by a guy named Andrew. He's from Melbourne, and it was his dream come true to fly out for the show. He was having a great time, and was really patient in answering all my silly questions. Overall, it was a great afternoon.
But this morning was the best thing yet.........
Every morning before I go out for a walk along the river, I get all pumped up to see a dolphin in the river. After about 20 mornings of not seeing one, I was begining to think that people were not telling the truth about the dolphins. I was wrong! I was walking along with my friend Katie, and we hear a big splash. I think to myself, that HAS to be a dolphin, what else? So I run down to the rivers edge, and get all pumped to see a dolphin, but theres' nothing but ripples. 5 seconds, 10 seconds, 30 seconds. My excitement and anticipation have hit a level which is dangerous to my health when...............the dolphin resurfaces! I jump up and down and all over Katie, and yell, and basically freak out. Some poor folks trying to have a peaceful morning walk were quiet impressed with my reaction, which only got better. As it swam up (or maybe down) the river, I ran along the bike path on the shore, keeping place and ......................still yelling. It was the most glorious morning walk ever! I wish I could post a picture of the sight, but I usually don't take my camera on walks. Sorry, maybe next time.
