Well, it is not always about the fish and sharks in my dives…. i am fascinated by the different types of corals that I see and each has its own unique texture that just makes you wonder…WOW! Nature is an artistic beauty! Here are some of the pics –

it was so good to be home for christmas. after all the good byes i finally headed back to turks and caicos. leaving lisbon was hard…but it feels good to be on island, settling down again, leaving the boots, scarves and warm coats behind. i’m on the countdown for my mum and sister’s visit in a few months and in the meantime working on this year’s resolutions.

wishing you a 2012 full of…

happy new year, myseastory readers!

a cup of pukka

earlier this month in london, when staying at my friend’s place, we had a cup of pukka tea every night before going to bed. they are delicious organic herbal teas, and there is one to match every mood. i fell in love with the packaging and tea was perfect to put me asleep with my jet lag.

i bought a lemon green for myself and my mum is loving the morning time i got her for christmas.

james left lisbon today, he is now on his way home in turks and caicos. we had a great week with my family, doing everything we missed and eating all our favourite dishes – cod fish, sea bass, barnacles, oysters and crab amongst others. portugal’s diving sites are not as beautiful and the temperature not as pleasant, but the fish we eat sure is good!

i am staying for a few more days before heading back to provo. in the meantime i leave you with this video of a shark (my favourite, you know!) from when james went diving just before leaving for vacations. he’ll be back next week!
