Marine Reserve

The picture above is a waterfall we saw, if you look closely we are little dots on the picture by the waterfall. It was really big.
I cant believe that I didn't take pictures of the marine reserve. It was so beautiful, but I think I just wanted a day to relax without having to worry about my camera.
The beach at the marine reserve was a black sand beach, volcanos cause this. The water was so clear, everyone went snorkeling except me, I chose to stand out on this rock wall and watch the giant stingrays swim. There must have been 10 of them. They were probably the size of your couch in length. They were just amazing. Then I waded into the water with some bread in hand, I didn't even get it in the water, I just had it on the surface and a huge fish came up and ate the whole piece! Then I could feel them swimming all around me touching my legs, it took a while to get used to.
I have to awknowledge the Canadian Veterans today since it is Rememberance Day. I can't believe that Alberta doesn't awknowledge this day as a stat holiday. Thankyou to the Veterans for fighting for us and dying for us. I cried all morning while watching the ceremonies in Ottawa, my Grandfather was in WW2, but he passed away a few years ago. He attended the ceremonies in Montreal every year.

I had no idea alberta did not recognize the holiday. here in vancouver, down town has a big parade. It's nice to have a day off esp with the wedding planning.
We still have a service and a lot of people dont go to work, but technically it is not a stat. How is planning going? Need help, I love to do it.
i'm wishing to find someone for hair and make up. But right now, I've gotten quotes that I just laugh at - $400. Yeah right - I'm not an idiot. Looks like I'm back to trying it all myself or going to the hair shop down the street on the day of... It's harder only since I've been here for 1.5 years and I really haven't found what I like...
Wow that place you went to must be amazing.... I've always wanted to go on a black beach!
