I had a little bit of an adventure this weekend. I went to La Jolla cove/beach near San Diego. I kayaked in the ocean. Here are some of my favorite parts of the weekend:
- Watching the sea lions. They were just laying out on the rocks, spooning with each other and just relaxing and enjoying themselves greatly. They were eating the fish in the ocean too...that was exciting.
- I snorkeled a bit and saw some beautiful leopard sharks. Their skin is really incredible. I also followed some rays around for a while.
- A couple new friends and I kayaked out to the end of a pier and found some chain ladders going from the water to the top of the pier (maybe about 30 feet up). So we got out of our kayaks (one at a time, of course) and made the ascent to the top of that bugger, took a great gulp of air, pushed off the pier, and flew through the air into the refreshing water. Ahh...why is jumping off things so exhilirating?
- Sat out on a cliff watching the ocean at night with a new friend.
- Slept peacefully through the night in my sleeping bag in the fresh air...until 3 in the morning when the automatic sprinklers sprang a suprise attack on me. Thank you Point Loma Nazarene University for keeping your grass so well-watered.
- Spent my Sunday playing at the beach some more, having battles with seaweed as our weapons, and climbing rocks.
- Had another war tonight, except our ammunition was bottles of paint. What if when we waged actual wars, we really did use paint or seaweed or water guns.

Hey, a picture of Shawn getting baptized showed up on the side of my Facebook news feed. I saw the one of you too. It was pretty cool that you got to help in baptizing each other! (I mention this because I remember your post about that experience and how cool it was.)
