The rain forest was cool and sunny. We swam in Lake Quinault, mountains all around. Gawd, this state is effing beautiful. Even the Germans at the lodge thought so. I swam out as far as I dared. The waves were very wavy, with little white caps whapping me. I love to swim, sometimes it is the best, even better than sex, maybe it is sex, fluid and floaty, breathless, washed and washed. 

And lakes hardly ever have sharks. A comfort.

I just misread the title of your blog as "My Little Golden Book of Labia."

Dana, you are seriously messed up. And I am a health professional, so I would know,

Love this, and love to swim, washed and washed. Also the no-sharks thing is comforting in lakes. We were in Bay Center (sw washington coast - an oddly out of the way place this Bay Center) and the tiny restaurant had a photo on the wall of "a great white shark" captured by men in the 30's on the river that runs to sea right there. It looked like a 20 foot long mud shark, which I would not ever want to encounter either.

Laura-now see what you've done. Sheesh. Mud sharks in lakes. And I thought I was safe, except for the prehistoric sturgeon.
