After leaving Paris and Normandy I met a friend of mine in Colmar and then we were off to Southern Germany. We spent almost a week traveling through the castle country. I remember it was cold, but the simple pleasures were sweet. Where are you T?

Some scans of recently discovered old 6 x 4 prints taken by myself back in the 1980s and 1990s. These were taken with my trusted Canon AE1 camera and at the time I didn’t think some of them were good enough to use however, I thought some might find them interesting and that I would now share them.

Love those Golden Guides. This is a1995 edition of "Stars." From The Friends of the Library. I'm still looking for the older cover with the title in a bold yellow serif font.

I love to snorkel, have snorkeled a lot, both with and without a wetsuit, and in many different locations, but this was the first time wearing a 7mm wetsuit. It was so thick that I needed help getting into it. In addition to the full body wetsuit there was another piece, kind of a vest with shorts attached that I had to step into, then pull up and zip up. There were thick gloves, booties and a hood with a bib that covered my head neck and chin. The hood didn’t fit correctly; the chin portion was too close to my lower lip. I think the bib should have been tucked lower and more securely underneath the vest.
Once on board the zodiac we were given instructions. We were to enter the water and hold onto the rope alongside the top of the zodiac while our wetsuits filled with water so that our bodies would acclimate to the cold water. No problem for me, I love cold water.
The wetsuit was so buoyant that I wasn’t in control. The current carried my legs underneath the zodiac as I held tightly onto the rope alongside the top of the zodiac. As my legs were being pulled underneath the zodiac I put my head back trying to free my legs. At that moment my snorkel filled with water. I spit out the water and pulled the snorkel from my mouth as I held onto the rope with my left hand, legs still underneath the zodiac. To my horror the chin portion of the hood slid into my mouth making it difficult to talk and to breath. I couldn’t breathe out of my nose because my mask was still in place, and I couldn’t remove the neoprene from my mouth because of the thick gloves. I tried yelling for help hoping the guide in the zodiac would reach over the side with his bare hands and take the chin portion of the hood out of my mouth.
He does come to my aid. He looks at me as I’m saying I can’t breathe and he tells me to give him my hand. He tries to pull me up into the zodiac by my right arm, but he can’t. My legs are still going under the zodiac because of the current and I’m holding onto the rope with my left hand. I’m also mumbling that I can’t breathe, but he doesn’t get the hint to pull the neoprene out of my mouth. I’m beginning to panic when he yells, “GIVE ME YOUR LEG".
Somehow I get my left leg out of the water enough for him to grab hold. He pulled so hard that he yanked me into the zodiac with great force. I fell in-between the side of the zodiac and the wooden platform in the center. I’m still saying that I can’t breathe, I still can’t get the neoprene out of my mouth, my body is so sore, he’s on the radio asking for assistance as another ‘hopeful snorkeler” is in the water having difficulty. She’s on her back drifting away and can’t turn over because the wetsuit is so buoyant . . . and she’s a scuba diver!!!
Wow, in-between helping her and his radio call, he reaches over to me and pulls off one of my gloves. I take the neoprene out of my mouth and unzip the vest. Now I can breathe full breaths . . . what a relief! I’m watching in horror as my roommate is struggling in the water, and then struggling to get into the zodiac. What fear and panic on her face! So scary.
Fast forward a bit: Once we are both safe and sound in the zodiac, and have rested a bit, it's time for me to try again. This time I enter the water on the other side of the zodiac so that the current will pull me away from the zodiac, not underneath it. I don’t stay in the water long. The visibility is horrible, like pea soup, the water is very choppy due to the wind, and I don’t like the constricted feeling in the super thick wetsuit. I like to be in control in the water, and I feel I am not. The wet suit is too constricting and buoyant. I suppose that's necessary due to the very cold water, but I'm thinking maybe we should have worn a belt with light weights.
I've got to add --- especially for Karen and for those who know that Karen was snorkeling with us. She had NO problem in the water. Of course I suspect that Karen is part mermaid!!! She did complain of very poor visibility though, so it was fortunate that she had snorkeled the day before in calm water with good visibility. She kept popping her head up asking, “Where are the belugas?” She couldn’t even see them because of the murky water, and at times they were alongside her!
On the way back to land, kayaking is mentioned as another possible activity, but the guide says, “Oh no, no kayaks in this choppy water, they’ll turn over, too dangerous”.
WOW!!! That was shocking to hear. We were taken out to snorkel on a windy day in choppy water. Choppy water is more dangerous, and most always choppy water means poor visibility. Oh well . . .
Our 'tour guides' in Maun took us to see the Crocodile Camp on the outskirts of town. You can actually camp there on the cheap. They have tents, cooking facilities, a swimming pool (croc free), a bar and 6 pens full of crocodiles ranging from the 100 year old monsters to teeny tiny little lizard sized ones. Notice the background is full of dusty young crocodiles. They made the most eerie dry slithering sound when crawling around.

If you study and research about the pregnancy weeks, you will find that the total weeks of pregnancy are 40. A woman keeps her baby for 40 weeks in her stomach and then the baby is born, but in many pregnancy cases, it is also seen that the babies are born in before the mother enters in the...
