A Journey.

Hi All!
So I know it has been some time since the last blog post, but I have been busy, travelling actually. I recently visited Roatan, Honduras with my class. It was an amazing experience. From Scuba Diving-to being able to interact and Snorkel with dolphins. We (my class as well as I) also got to visit SOL, which stands for School Of Life international.

I never in my life (before this year) imagined that I Sneha the Great could ever, would ever Scuba Dive! I thought that it was an activity that only the extremely brave and fearless could partake in. And I also figured that you had to be an adult, strong, a really good swimmer, a shark-battler, immune to jellyfish stings, and yea. However there I was diving away, having the time of my life, in the gorgeous waters of Roatan, Honduras in the midst of these beautiful fish; slow, graceful sea turtles; and stunning coral (literally). It was eye-opening! Well that and the fact that you needed the orbs, so you wouldn't bump into a patch of fire coral. Quoting Jen "Anything with the name fire in it underwater, doesn't sound too safe."Well, she said something like that.

And then the Dolphins. And like Scuba-ing, I though interacting with Dolphins, was just "wishful thinking" ;) . Dolphins are such beautiful creatures, so graceful, and happy (usually), and playful, and * murmuring * fish craving. But really, they are so DELIGHTFUL! Urgggg. It took me forever to figure out what their skin felt like, when we got to rub them down, and this was my closest description. Their "skin" feels like, you know those little card-kinda things, that you get on Valentine' day??? When you look at them they are one picture but if you bend them or look at it from another angle the picture changes??? And when you scratch it, it makes a funny sound??? Well anyways, that feeling of that card thingie is just the same feeling as a Dolphin.

And OH MY GOODNESS, those dear kids at SOL. I could eat them up, they are so freaking amazing, and -cute- ADORABLE, and sweet, and so caring of one another, and I could just go on and on forever. They are definitely not as fortunate as anyone of us reading this, because it means that you are on a gizmo of some sort, and they cannot at all afford even basic things! But through whatever, goes on in their household, or family, or school, or anything, the one thing you can most definitely get out of them when you spin them around or play pato, pato, ganso,with them is a simple smile. And I kid you not, they have fantastic smiles. They are just so amazing. By the next post I put up, hopefully I can get some pictures of them for you guys!!!

So Ciao bellas and Bellos I guess! Your emoji for the day is -<@%, it's a bumblebee!!!
