I live in Mexico City and the drivers are terrible, you see people running through red lights all the time and doing all sorts of things that would get you a ticket in 10 seconds in any other country. But what's astonishing is how rarely you see any actual car crashes. I think people are so used to other drivers being stupid, that they're a lot more alert and ready to swerve out of the way of danger in a fraction of a second, whereas driving amongst "civilized" drivers becomes such an automatic and predictable process that people lose the ability to react effectively to perilous situations. That's my theory, at least. The thought of Mexican drivers being more intelligent had also ocurred to me.

Aside from the scenery and you two looking so precious together my favourite pictures were the Turkey Vulture and the Sandy Parrot fish Carcass, not something I see every day here in BC. (Well the vultures I do in the summertime! hehe). Happy New Year! Beautiful photos!

She returned to China to visit family after living in the U.S. for 10 years or so and found it difficult to manage there after being acclimated to living here.

We knew not to get too close. It's nice seeing the beach where Clive and I went on our first "date"! It looks like you made some wonderful new memories there.

The premium to buy a camera that's solidly waterproof as well as shock and dust proof has been totally worth it. The camera is great — very sturdy.

I bought myself the same one with my boxing day money, but haven't had a chance to use it for any of it's real intended uses yet. To be honest, I'm a little scared.

So they weren't scary in the least. Not to mention that they are around humans everyday and aren't nervous about it, they seemed to enjoy the attention!

As long as you don't mess with them they're not motivated to fight. I'm told that they can however get a little 'amorous' though. Thankfully I am still not fat enough to turn them on.

Something the size of a VW beetle can be rather unpredictable, I would think... but after meeting a wild dolphin off the coast of San Diego, I am wondering if they're just as friendly?
