Next up, what is on my mind. PUERTO RICO! Check out this Bioluminescent Bay! Out of this world! Hopefully I'll get to go here in Puerto Rico. Beyond words.
On a moonless night in Vieques take a ride into one of the most magical places in the world. Look behind the boat and watch the shimmering glow of the wake. When it stops and the guide stomps a foot on the deck, hundreds of luminescent streaks appear in the path of scattering fish. Imagine taking a dip and finding yourself enveloped in a blue-green glow, lifting your hand from the water and watching the glowing water drip off into the phosphorescent pool beneath.
Waving your arms in the water makes angel wings appear. The stronger the movement, the brighter the glow. Enter the world that time forgot, the last of its kind to still maintain such a high level of luminescence. Because even though this phenomena occurs elsewhere in the world, nowhere is it nearly as bright as in one of the bioluminescent bays in Vieques, known as Caño Hondo or Puerto Mosquito.
The light is produced by trillions of micro-organisms that become luminescent when disturbed. The concentration here is an astounding 720,000 per gallon. Vieques is one of the few places in the world where pollution has not decimated the population. It is fortunate indeed that Vieques has escaped mainstream tourism.
INCREDIBLE!
The other thing I'm looking forward to is El Yunque Forest. This is merely one clip I found in my haste to finish this blog because I have LOADS of things to do before 5:00. I think Sunday will be a blog dedicated to Pre-Puerto Rico. Ha ha. Can't imagine what post Puerto Rico is gonna be like.
Now for some cute pictures of my cats. Kitty wants to play chess and DJ looks like.......I don't know. Fill in the blank. DJ looks like........By the way, I can't figure out how to post the entire photo. I'm bummed, Kitty is perfectly in the middle of the two sides of my chess set. They're both cut off on the right and I don't know why. Still learning how to use this blogspot, but I figure better to have a post than none at all eh? Enjoy! I'll try to fix it sometime. (later update...I fixed it!)
Last but not least, remember the bruise from last post? Well here it is about a week and a half later. Look closely....what does it look like to you? There are two imaginings.....I wonder if anyone sees what I see. Thoughts? It's kinda like playing shapes with clouds except this was a massive bruise from two retards playing high card punch in Michigan this past fall. Brilliant. But fun.
