Open Water Diver am I

Today we did two more boat dives (I'm really tired of practicing mask flooding), and got our temporary certification cards! We had to send away for the official ones, it takes a few months.

The two dives today were nicer because I didn't have to pay quite as much attention to my buoyancy and could concentrate more on looking at the fish. We saw a pair of sea snakes and a spotted ray on the first dive, and another sea snake and a lion fish on the second. Good times.

Later that evening I was hanging out with some of my new friends, and we played some Capitalism (rich man poor man, Asshole, whatever you want to call it). It's been a while since I played, but we used to play it all the time in college in the dorms (Freshman and Sophomore years). It was good fun, I was President for a good while, until someone dethroned me and I had to work my way back up. I managed to get back to President on the last hand we played. I'm hoping I'll get to hang out with them again, we're traveling in a similar direction, but they're on a tour. We'll see.
