What not to eat

I swam with these guys - though I confess to a very startled reaction when I looked down and one was mere inches away from me.

tony and i swam with sharks at disney-leopards and bonnet heads, rays, etc. it was awesome.
used to jump in the water when we'd go fishing in the chesa. bay, or down in va. was swimming one time and dad pulled in a shark on his line-about a 4 1/2 footer. so, i've actually been swimming with sharks that i never saw. now, that can be a bit scary.

Some hopeful news!

Yao Ming speaks out against the ivory trade too. I don't follow celebrities, but when they use their fame for good, I am all for them!
