breaking the ice

I always thought people who snorkel are a bit weird. I mean, what should be better with a tube and goggles? One would just look stupid. When I was in Sharm el Sheikh the first days of September I was persuaded to snorkel and it was mind blowing. I never thought that it would be so wonderful, cause – I have been to aquariums and I have seen colourful things before, what should be so amazing about it. But the colours, the peace, the amount of fish, the closeness, the size, and the sun that sends its rays. It was just amazingly beautiful and so surprisingly … well, simply mind blowing. So all I can say is, go and snorkel – if possible in the red sea! Ah and by the way, just for the record, I have been in Sharm for a conference of the Suzanne Mubarak Women’s International Peace Movement, I got up at 5:45 am in the morning to see the sunrise just passed 6am, I did snorkel till 8 to be able to watch the fish have breakfast and I was on time at 9 in the conference. And it was more then worth it. I am happy A. persuaded me to do it. Thanks.
