After our exploration, Clara and I took the long way back and swam parallel to the shore for a while. Then, on the heels of my snorkeling reverie, I spotted a paper coffee cup and lid on the ocean floor. In Mo Willems' "Knuffle Bunny, Too" fashion, when Trixie spots a duplicate Knuffle Bunny, our focus zeroed in on that cup like a telephoto zoom lens. A coffee cup in the coral reefs!?!?!
I practically burst my eardrums diving down to retrieve the cup, but we walked away with it, along with a personal commitment: no more "disposable" coffee cups. It's a single drop in the ocean, but it's something.
You're SO good, Alice. Always doing your part to protect this beautiful Earth & setting an amazing example for your lucky children. xoxo
