#16 --- 2 days later --- #1 --- What a way to start a vacation ---
HERE'S WHAT HAPPENED:
I was on the 2nd of three six-seater pipers that landed in a remote area about half way down the Baja peninsula in Mexico. After landing we were to go 15 minutes by bus over dirt roads to get to a little fishing village where we then were to take an hour long panga boat ride to our secluded wilderness campsite.
I mentioned that I was on the 2nd of three pipers. Most people from the first plane were on a little hill overlooking the water, but two from that plane were standing behind the back of the bus when the 2nd plane landed. Everyone from the 2nd plane went to the hill except for me. I joined the two women standing behind the back of the bus who were applying sun screen. As the 3rd plane landed and taxied over it was very close to the bus, but I was unaware.
Suddenly I heard what sounded like an explosion, felt something on my back and neck and was sliding on the ground. I kind of skidded across the dirt landing area and then lay motionless for a bit. It was horrible! My whole body stung and I feared the worst. My first thought was of Mom and how sad she would be if I didn’t return. My next thought was that I didn’t want to be paralyzed. And then my thoughts were of not wanting to miss swimming with the whale sharks!!! I didn’t know what had happened.
I was told by the two women that they had seen the plane coming and had seconds to react --- one ran, the other pushed me to the ground and ducked the approaching wing of the piper. As I was pushed to the ground I believe (at least I was told by the woman who pushed me down) that the back of my head was grazed by the wing of the plane as I was in motion toward the ground. The right side of my body was badly bruised by the fall --- face, shoulder elbow, arm, abdomen, thigh, and also a bit of my left knee as well.
I had thought about returning home and not going to the campsite, but once I realized that nothing was broken I had such an adrenalin rush that I wanted to experience everything. I think realizing how close I had possibly come to a horrible ending gave me the strength to go forward.
We took a 15 minute ride by bus over dirt roads to a little fishing village where I washed my arm with bottled water and was given a bag of ice which I placed on my face, arm and thigh alternately while on the hour long panga boat en route to the wilderness campsite.
At the campsite one of the pilots poured peroxide over my right arm and shoulder. Luckily there was a doctor among the 13 “adventure seekers”. He gave me a shot of lidocaine and cleaned out the open elbow that had filled with dirt and junk from the dirt runway.
The next day I was in a wetsuit in the cold water swimming with whale sharks. I believe the numbing cold water helped decrease my pain, and of course salt water is good for healing. The intense excitement of swimming with whale sharks I’m sure increased my adrenalin and serotonin, and this definitely kept me going.
Nine days later and at home, I am now feeling the effects of the accident. I am also “house bound” because I don’t want to be “out and about” looking as I do.
Hopefully soon I will be totally healed.
Believe it or not, earlier in the day these ladies were covered in sweat, mud and rain....earning their slot in the 3rd playoff round for lacrosse!!

Christmas is around the corner. Took this picture last week (3rd advent). Although the angle might be wrong... but it feels right. :)
Petty Officer 3rd Class Joshua Zartman of Coast Guard Station Mayport, Florida, pulls 10-year-old Nmir Ali Mahmoud toward a Coast Guard boat while rescuing him, his father and another man who were stranded aboard their 21-foot boat after running it aground on top of a jetty near Mayport, May 24, 2014. Memorial Day weekend is typically one of the busiest times of year for boating accidents, and it is not uncommon for Coast Guard crews to rescue dozens of boaters in a single day.

The road bridge over the River Brathay at Clappersgate near Ambleside.
I have been hunting around for details on this bridge, but there seems to be little written about it. It is a pretty photogrenic crossing over the river Brathay and one I have never got around to photographing until today.

The tissue-thin carpaccio of kangaroo are adhered to the walls of this beautiful bowl with the help of painted lime caramel. Eucalyptus whipped cream anchors the bottom of the bowl, this dish is strewn with canteloupe and cucumber "noodels" and garnished with a dash of fenugreek.
Taste: This dish is the same "painted carpaccio" presentation from my first meal, which featured hamachi carpaccio. While the hamachi presentation was decidedly Japanese, this was decidedly Aussie. Silky tissue-thin carpaccio of kangaroo mixed in excellently with the floral semi-tart and sweet lime-caramel. I really enjoyed the combination - together with the woods-y perfume of the eucalpytus whipped cream. I only wish that I could taste the lime a tad more in the caramel. The strands of cucumber and canteloupe noodles added a refreshing melon taste. This sweet dish really benefited from the spicy kick from the orange-black pepper-infused drink pairing.
