Yes! Yes! Yes!

So Friday was the last day of school. We had so much fun. I let the kids bring in a whole load of junk food and I made a bunch of brownies. We had our party before lunch. Then, after lunch they came back and we played music and danced until the bell rang. We had a blast.

Then I drove out to Camarillo and met Ludovic again. He's exactly how I like my men. Attentive and intelligent. We a lovely, lovely, lovely time together. He cooked brochettes and cous cous. I saw pictures of the son and the kid is really cute. He does look a lot like his father. I did not realize how fit Ludovic is the first time I met him. The man ripples muscle. I couldn't keep my hands off of him.

Last weekend was amazing, too. I went to Leo Carillo and did the beach dive. The visibility was awful and all we saw was a starfish. The waves were fun to ride, too. It was hard going with the tank and fins and everything, but it was cool. While we were there there was a kayak race going on and we kept watching them wipe out in the waves. We were all cracking up.

Then, the next day we left Ventura harbor on the Spectre boat and did three dives off of it. The boat was so high off the water! I think I had to fall about 8-10 feet to crack the surface. I went down 66 feet on the first dive. You use a lot more air when you're deep compared to when you are at sea level, and I nearly ran out of air. I had to do an emergency ascent. Then we did two more dives and I saw a sea hare (my instructor made a bunch of purple ink shoot out of it), lots of sea lions, sea stars, sea urchins, starfish, sheephead fish, tons of kelp, and all kinds of gorgeous rocks and plants. We were out near Anacapa for those dives. The water was 59 degrees, but it wasn't at all bad with the wetsuit. There was a jacuzzi on the boat, so after all the dives I jumped in it. Then this Israeli guy got in with me and was acting all creepy. My friend Rhonda got in, though, and distracted him for a while. Rhonda and I were the only two from our class that got certified. Others didn't do their homework or chickened out of the beach dive.

I turned in all my gear. I think that I'm going to buy a wetsuit on July 1st. Then I can go bodysurfing with Ludovic. I think he said something about getting me a bodyboard. I was kind of drunk. He made this pretty blue drink full of vodka for me. It matched his eyes.
