26. Flipper!

2nd January 2014, Dolphin Discovery, Cozumel, Mexico

Another activity of the Mexico trip that made the 28 year old auntie more excited than the 7 and 9 year old nieces was the one where we'd be swimming with dolphins.

First and foremost, they are huge. I always thought they looked very cute and cuddly and large-fish sized, but they're cute and cuddly and massive. But absolutely beautiful and really smart - unlike me they can both jump and dance on command.

Unexpectedly, the highlight of the dolphinarium trip was not riding on the dolphins, dancing with the dolphins, being pushed by the dolphin on a wakeboard or even getting a dolphin kiss.
When all of that was over, they took us to the see the sea cows. I just love sea cows. Never have an ugly creature been that cute since ET. I want one.

Biggest concern of the moment - what qualifications are required for being a dolphin trainer and what will 8 years of banking add anything to the profession?
