those waves look to stinking scary to me LOL
i dont think i'd make a very good surfer. heck, i dont even make a very good ocean wader... i've got this thing about not being able to see what i'm walking on. I remember when we were in Florida and my family was way da heck out into the ocean and i was wading up by the beach. my daughter let out this yelp and came running toward me, like to have scared the crap outta me. i honestly thought a jelly fish or shark or something got to her LOL. She got pinched by a crab....
I will admit though the ocean, and even those waves are very pretty.
and thanks for the links.... they're pretty neat. OH and the train... i dont remember the name of it, but its the one that goes all the way across Aurstailia. They said it is the only one that has a 200 and something mile stretch without any curves...
