Brittian and Back Part II

So after Virgin Gorda, We hopped on our boat, the Bad Kitty, to our lunch spot. We ate looking out onto the water, eating some pretty delicious food. Then was our nap time. We relaxed on some comfy beach chairs until the horn from our boat sounded and it was time to get back on the water!

Our next stop was a snorkel spot! The three of us had a blast tooling around seeing cool stuff. We were the last ones back onto the boat. Here are some pictures Amber took:



Then off to Jost Van Dyke, BVI. There we walked along the beach, enjoyed the sun and hung out at the famous Soggy Dollar bar. This beach was one in which you pull up by boat and swim to land. It was pretty fun except after drying off and warming up, it was hard to get back into the cool water.

After the beach it was the sad boat ride back to the USVI. I have my first stamp on my new passport though (why doesn't Canada stamp??)!!

So we get back to St. Thomas and are walking back to Amber's dingy to head back over to my house. First of all, we get to the dingy dock and can't find Amber's dingy right away... Then seconds later, I find the rope and pull the dingy out from under the dock. Slowly, we start loading up all our things into the dingy, First Amber jumps in and then Dana jumps in; the two of them have their feet in the boat and are holding onto the dock with both hands. Then, in slow motion, the dingy starts moving under the dock again. The dingy is deflated so the two of them can't sit on the dingy and pull it back out again. Soon, both of them have their arms extended and are hanging with their feet in the boat. Dana says to Amber "Dont fall in! Dont fall in!!" and Im on the dock laughing so hard that I can't help at all. The dingy slowly keeps moving under the dock and Amber ducks under and grabs a pole to try to push them back out and she yells out to me "Meg, pull us out!" At that point, I pull myself together enough to grab the rope and save the day!

The Cake Fairy

Today was a pretty standard weekend here in PA. I dont do much but hope that its nice out so I can go for a walk and explore on my own, but the sun didnt come shining through my window this morning to wake me up. I slept in. After a few hours of lounging around watching youtube videos about history, I asked Cassie if she wanted to explore the town. We decided to take a visit to a local winery/brewery, Stone & Key Cellars, to do some tastings. They had quite the spread of things to taste and we were overwhelmed! Fruit wines and your typical whites and reds, cider and mede! I started out with some of the red fruit wines and Cassie with the white fruits. They were all a bit sweet for me so I moved right into the bold reds. We got four tastings each and shared our tastes but also, the bartender was super cool and gave us more tastings of whatever he wanted! He was talking to us about the local area and what breweries to check out next in our exploration of Pennsylvania. Going to ...

Bio Bay, PR positives

The coolest part of our trip to Puerto Rico was definitely the Bioluminescent Bay in Vieques [side note, bioluminescence is a big word, mostly it just means stuff that lights up but scientifically it means 'bio'-life, 'lumin'-light, 'escence'-to put forth. So, life that puts forth light!] It was an experience that I cannot easily put into words. The night started out a bit strange. We got picked up at our hostel at 9pm, along with 5 other girls, by a thirty-something, long-haired gentleman. He walked us about a block to the van that would transport us to the bio-bay. The van was, well, to put it nicely, a fixer-upper. It had bench seats which were collapsing, the roof fabric was falling down, it puttered around and squeaked during turns. Ty and I joked that we were paying 40 bucks to get murdered in this van especially when we turned down a dirt, side street that was full of pot holes. We slowly lumbered along this road for a few minutes until we made it to our ...

Just a little update on whats going on here and then Im hoping tomorrow Ill be able to write a blog about how awesome my cousins wedding was this past weekend! So, Im currently in Philly working where I was this Spring at College Settlements. I love my coworkers and I love where Im at. I feel comfortable and happy at work, now only if I was closer to the city for my social life... I have to brag about my dude who just started a new job in DC as the captain of an education vessel. He's adulting so hard and Im so proud. Makes me want to step up my game and start semi-adulting. I want to get a job there after this job is over for the fall. So, If you've got any leads... This summer/Fall have been a bit insane, in a good way.  I sp...
