sooo, i went to cape may over the weekend. it was pretty fun, however, i was the only girl in the group. well, there WERE other girls, but i didn't know them, so i ended up hanging around with the guys.
it was a trip i organized for the club. stories to follow later. but for the time being, here are some teaser cape may shots right now.. (gaack, i still have to post my washington pics!!!)
the place where we stayed. it's right across the atlantic ocean (it's pretty cold!!!) the house is managed by a nice lady named meg, who even invited me if i was interested in doing summer job there (hell yeah!).
dolphin sighting! while this shot was taken at sunset beach, there WERE dolphins right across the 931 beach house. i swam in the morning (by myself, too, coz i'm the shy type! hehe) and found 3 dolphins just swimming no more than 50ft away from me. it was pretty surreal, watching them just glide in and out of the same water were i was. i wanted to swim out to them, but at the back of my head, a little voice said, if dolphins can swim there, so can SHARKS. drat. stupid voice.
good thing i was swimming by myself too. a moment after watching the dolphins, i got hit by a huge wave. the experience is prolly similar to a deer caught by the headlights, i just stupidly stood there and took the full brunt of it (and didn't go under the wave). it slammed me hard, pushed me 5-10ft back to shore, where i fell backwards, scrapped my back across the sand, felt my feet awkwardly sticking out of the water.
ye. ouch. i immediately stood up, and made sure nobody saw that, hihi.
cape may has lots of victorian-inspired houses. no 2 were alike. lots of stores, too. much fun was had just walking inside them and looking at all the pretty stuff.
proof that this place is really cape may!
------
i have to say this, tho. part of the thrill in going to the beach is when you see the coconut trees from afar. malapit na tayo sa beaaaach! (we're getting near the beach). there was none of those in cape may. nevertheless, a beach is a beach, and as long as you have fun with your friends, it's a'right.
anyway, some shots have already been posted in my flicker account. i think some of you got invitations to look at my album in snapfish. if you haven't, email me so i can send you one!
next post -- the world cup fever pictures!
