I am still in Baja, Mexico. I went snorkeling con mis padres. On my
first trip out, I didn't see a whole lot. But the second time, I went
farther out.
The first school I ran into was about ten swordfish-like specimens;
they had this wild, stupid look in their eyes and when I swam close to
them, they scattered in fright. Going further, I saw all sorts of fish,
ranging from tiny to large and from translucent to vividly
colored.
One small fish was like a swimming canvas of glowing purple, green,
and blue. Also, I saw a sort of shovel-nosed pipe fish; it was about
five-feet long, including a spiny, stinger-like tail.
Upon coming home, I had an argument with my step-mom of nineteen
years, who won't give me a few dollars to take a Mexican girl to the
resort bar.
