Picnic on the beach-Micah and Tyler below

We had a fantastic Sabbath today. It started with a 5:30 am snorkel with 6 mantas. It was our best experience underwater ever and here 10 minutes from our home on Guam. Mike, Larae, Chad, and Sho went with us. We spent the afternoon chilling at Ratidian beach. An awesome day!!!

Chad and I headed to Anilao, Phillipines for two days of diving this weekend. The diving was off the hook. We saw 25 new species of nudibranchs. Ridiculous. The dive guide was our best ever. A great and rewarding weekend. Now back to work.

Our New Zealand adventure ended with a rainy drive up the West Coast and a couple of great days in Kaikoura and Christchurch. Snorkeling with the Dolphins was awesome. It was also fun seeing all of the seals and birds on the beach. Christchurch has some amazing gardens and we ended with a funky dinner at an all vegetarian restuarant run by the followers of a local shaman. Interesting and great food.
