Tales from the Road: Catch (and Later, Eat) Your Lunch

(Tales from the Road was delayed due to technical difficulties)
So, 6:30 a.m. came a little bit early for me on Saturday, October 4. I’m by no means a morning person during the week, even less so during the weekend. However, this was the day that I was going to go deep sea fishing.
Now given my aversion to boats, I’ve stayed away from deep sea fishing, but since I had such a good time and experience on the dolphin excursion, I was really looking forward to this adventure, with the aid of Dramamine, of course.

I admit I enjoy turning off the well-traveled road and onto a country road in search of local produce stands or something similar. In my opinion, there’s nothing better than fresh apple or looking for the perfect pumpkin and some friends to take home.

Get Outdoors: Sea Turtle Walks

It’s a special time along the coast in May. No, it isn’t because  the weather is warmer and everyone is out enjoying the beach. May is the time of the year in which sea turtles, the oldest creatures on the earth,come ashore to nest and hatch through October. You’ve probably seen the signs at your beach condos warning you to keep your outdoor lights off during this time, and this is the reason why.
These majestic and mysterious creatures dig holes and lay anywhere around 80-120 eggs. Once the eggs hatch, the hatchlings head toward the beach.
