Interloper

Hey everyone,

Hope everyone is well and enjoying the spring weather. its hot as hell here, but i'm loving it.
i havn't been in to town lately because i despise civilization and it is becoming a chore, but hearing from all of you
makes it worth while. Silhoutte was just as beautiful as the first time. we saw 3 groups of turtle hatchlings which ranks pretty high on the most amazing things i've ever seen list. also the weather was beautiful and i got to
climb every day. we are now in the interphase part where all the expedition
members are gone ( i have been initiated as staff now ) and it is soooo relaxing. yesterday
we took the boat out to Therese island for a barbeque, frisbee, and laying on the beach. and
on the way home stopped at a couple of awesome granitic sites for snorkeling. we saw 18
spotted eagle rays swimming in formation and also a huge school of mackerel. It still hasn't
hit me that in 3 days i will be in kenya hanging out with elephants and girraffes and all sorts
of crazy animals. i promise lots of pictures when i return to Mahe. i am going to keep this short because
this computer is about to explode i think, and the loud techno music in this internet cafe is driving me insane.

miss you all and thanks for writing,

~Paul


P.S. in case anyone is wondering i should be returning around the end of June.

Concerned Again
Hi Paul, I was just beginning to relax about your adventure so far from home, and your Mom told me about your intentions in Kenya. Your second mother is concerned, but afraid I am sending this note after you have gone. I pray that you have a wonderful time, but that you are very careful and smart on your trip to Africa....holding my breath until we hear from you again! Love, Margaret
