Beaches made it fun. However, the fact that we got to set up the tent on grass made it amazing. They had kitchens that we got to cook our food in, and running water. We took the first real showers we had had all week, and got to go to the grocery store. I got my fix of Thai Sweet Chili chips, and we truly felt like we had reentered civilization.
There was a fridge to cool off the beer, which made some of us happier than others (I don't drink beer . . .), and there were a lot of activities.
First and foremost, the dolphins!!!!
While they are wild dolphins, the park rangers still fed them three times a day. Actually, Becca got to feed them, since it was her birthday when we were there.
Speaking of Becca's birthday, we decided to make her work for her present. We sent her on a scavenger hunt all over the resort, until she finally ended up in the bar, where we were waiting for her with drinks in hand. Well, they were waiting. She needed me to help her work out the last few clues.
We spent the last night of our trip in style, taking many pictures and making memories.
Here are some of the pictures:
I feel kind of bad for Terry . . .
Yay for two girls from Michigan State!
And finally, Terry and I recreating the dramatic rescue in the gorge. We can laugh about it now. You know, since I didn't die.
The next morning, we left again at 5 in the morning, and came back to Perth. We were back here by late afternoon, and cleaned the car and aired out the tent.
I knew my life here wouldn't be the same. First of all, there was no Tyler anymore, since he had to move back to Karratha. But mostly, it was because I changed over that trip. The stars didn't seem as bright, but I appreciated everything around me more.
Despite some drama and disagreements along the way, I wouldn't change a thing about the trip. It was perfect.
