Fly Fishing and Cow Kissing

So I know it's only half way through the day but I have had such a great time! I have been lake fishing, and I have been ocean fishing, but now I can add river fishing. Which, might I add, is the hardest. Not only do you brave trecherous rocks and cold water but the gear required [ which I suppose ocean boats cost more ] is extensive. I waded in my bathin suit and tennis shoes most of the time but the water was so cold that you could no longer breath once you got deep enough. I never caught a fish but I did break the group leaders fishing pole in TWO PLACES when I fell. To add injury to insult I found out it was the pole he got for his birthday last year and had never used. All that and I never caught a fish! But I did learn about how to fly fish and traveling up the river was so much fun!
Not to mention the new friends I've made. I really had such a wonderful time - next time they said we'd go on a canoe trip or horse back riding! No way!!!
When I got home I saw some of the neigbors cows had come up by the fence so I went to see the little cream colored one - she/he [ I didn't check ] came right up to me and was licking my hand and arm haha! I never new their tongues literally hooked onto things, or that they felt like cats tongues. I ran in to get my camera and when i came back to take a picture the cow licked me right on my face!!! As I walked away he watched me as if he were sad to see me go, I think i've made another new friend :) Hanging out by the pool now - taking in the day. I am so blessed.
