It’s Thursday, about two days since I did my laundry (journal post) but anyway I made it to Balmorhea, Texas to get some scuba diving in. I tell you it was just what I needed. About two days with a good friend talking and diving. The water was warm and clear and had all sorts of fish to play with.

You have to imagine this place… actually you don’t because I have pics to upload, but it’s an oasis out in the middle of the desert. It’s fed by springs so the water is crystal clear and warm. It’s also shallow, about 25 feet at the deepest, which is good thing for me since I sometimes have problems with my ears clearing if I go too deep.

Before I went I bought an underwater camera, so in a few weeks probably I’ll have photos of greg and me diving to put up here. I can’t thank Greg enough for first suggesting it, and then taking care of all the small things to make it happen. I owe him and if he ever comes and visits me in Dubai I’ll make sure to make is stay the best.

On the way back today we went to the Roswell Museum. It’s so funny that people still think that a space ship crashed there, but taken with a grin it was a lot of fun. When you go to the counter to get a ticket, the guy asks, “how many humans in your party?” I also heard him ask someone if, “can you prove that your human?” :) Too funny.
