the sea

We were chatting the other day about how we could see the ocean from some of our classroom windows in high school.
 
During sardine season, you could see the sprays of whales and dolphins, and we would interrupt the lesson, to call everyone over to COME AND LOOK!
Wow! And this happened each and every year...but, it was still cause for calling everybody over.
 
Some mathematics lessons, I would spot a ship and follow it the whole lesson, most of the time it had not left my line of sight by the time the bell rang.
 
Now, sometimes, there were more than one ship at a time, that would be another reason for calling everybody to the window. We would ask ourselves why there are two ships and not just one....anything to avoid class, right?
 
And telling it to people who live in Gauteng now, makes me realise that we had it pretty good.
