Grateful 214

I'm grateful for: Snorkeling trips! Today, we went snorkeling at Gili Trawangan, Gili Meno, and Gili Air. All of the snorkeling spots were awesome, but the turtle spot was incredibly amazing because I got to hang out face to face with a sea turtle!

Some people in our snorkeling group swam down and tried to touch the turtle, and it swam away. So I waited until everyone left, and the turtle came back up. I swam down but didn't try to touch the turtle, so it just floated there looking at me... until I couldn't hold my breath anymore and sadly had to leave my turtle friend behind. Those 30 seconds were so cool though! ^_^

Note: I don't have an underwater camera, so I couldn't take a picture, but this is a picture I found of a Gili sea turtle. Photo credit: http://www.gili-paradise.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/Gili_turtle.jpg
