Dolphin Sighting

I haven't posted anything in a while. Sorry about that. I went on two vacations already! Gasp! They were both only overnight trips, though. The first one is when I saw the dolphins. I will talk about the second vacation in another post. Anyway, I was at the beach. The exact location will stay a secret for safety reasons. Two of my friends and I were on a kayak. We were having a ball jumping on and off the kayak. People on the shore started yelling something that we couldn't understand. We assumed they were saying goldfish. We were slightly confused by this. Suddenly, we heard a gasping/blowing noise and turned to see what it was. All three of us screamed when we were surprised by the gray dolphins swimming past us. We all jumped onto the kayak as fast as possible. We were freaked out for a few more seconds, then calmed down when we realized they were only dolphins, minding their own business, swimming by in their pods. We watched in awe. They were beautiful, even with the scars on their backs from humans or some other being doing them harm. They swam very close to us, and we couldn't help but fall in love with them. As soon as we were sure they were done passing through, we started on our way back to shore. That was my first dolphin sighting ever, and I hope it won't be my last.
