Ano Nuevo & The Elephant Seals for (sexy! tops! john! & maria!)

our docent was THE BEST!  navy veteran  "thank you!"   /and it was explained to me by john, that his position in the navy was one of the most dangerous..    but, what a passionate/knowledgeable/engaging docent!  and the tour is 2 1/2 hours.. and for much of it, we were standing in pouring rain

and dave, our docent..  he was ENTIRELY IMPERVIOUS to the elements... spoke as if we were all standing/walking in sunshine on a perfect day..

and what a treat it was!  turns out, better to see the elephant seals in the rain, than a sunshiny day, because it is in the rain that they are their most active

and we did get to witness them battling, mating, hanging out..  males, females and pups..

utterly fascinating to watch nature this close up..   mesmerizing.

but none of us were quite prepared for the amount of rain..    so, -the total opposite of skinny dipping would be to jump in a pool with all of your clothes on; and that is the condition we ended our tour in...   soaking, soaking, dripping wet.   and in that condition we walked/jogged the mile + back to johns truck..   felt a little like what I imagine boot camp training might include; add weights and more obstacles..    and then a drive on 17 in the pouring rain...

so..    I keep giving myself imaginary brave badges..    and, keep moving past fears/obstacles; and keep being rewarded..

and I have my sexy to thank over and over again...    and my new friends, maria/john, which have become friends as a direct result of loving robert..   "thank you!"   awesome time again   -hallelujah and amen
