anything involving salt water! i love to surf (i do my best), fish, snorkle, sunbathe, build kick-ass sand castles (right melly??),weekend porch bronzing, weekday hammock breaks, whatever. i will stay in the ocean until i turn into prune. i have been bitten hard by the "travelbug" and will go anywhere warm and sunny. my dream vacation would be a volunteer trip to africa that i WILL go on as soon as my finances are secured. i like to paint (oil mostly), and prefer to be out on my porch when i do. i am a day person and i refuse to waste a beautiful one sitting inside on the couch. great music is a daily essential of mine and i'm always up for hearing a good live band. i cook spicy vegetarian dishes and love a good cheap red wine. i am a dork about board games and trivia and am always up for a challenge! i am in love with my neighborhood and take pleasure in touring it on my green polka dot bike.

i'm a big fan of non-fiction like "a long way gone", "memoirs of a geisha", "a pirate looks at fifty", "three cups of tea", and "don't let's go to the dogs tonight". but my favorite book so far is "the poisonwood bible", a fiction novel about a missionary family in the late fifties living in the african congo.
