One time that I connected with the water was when I went to Costa Rica. I went snorkeling in the beautiful blue water. At first when I jumped in I freaked out because there were sea urchins everywhere. I was so scared and thought that they would really hurt me. We swam past the urchins and over a coral reef then a big turtle swam out of a hole. Looking back this was probably the best time in the ocean I have ever had.
