Chapter 1

Life On The Dry Side

You and the family are up and out to enjoy the late morning, and you plan on stopping at the local restaurant the family has visited so many times. It is the start of another sublime day at your favorite shore town. Grabbing a bite to eat at a local diner, families gather around a table with small chairs. Your favorite restaurant is friendly, clean and relaxing. It is moderately filled with patrons, and the staff as always are professional. Your family settles in ready to order.

The television is on reporting all the current events. Everyone is looking over the menu as you have a dozen times before. The children are looking out the windows watching the day go by in the peaceful shore town of Victorytown. The television has a story on about birds, bears being adventurous, penguins huddled in groups, which diverts the family’s attention.

The television station is talking about the current times, showing a large chunk of ice which has broken loose from the Larson C Ice Ledge from the continent Antarctica. The television news person says it seems to be of a natural

progression of the Earth’s current conditions, but a true explanation has not been found. You look forward to a stellar family morning.

Each town has its own ideal settings and beautiful surroundings. Some towns you can drive for miles of tranquility, other towns only a block or two. Leaving the restaurant, it seems this quiet community appears to be active yet peaceful. People are bike riding, jogging and walking along streets full of shops. There are kites flying and children running in the park. Families are lined up at each of the ice cream shops.

Along the way groups of people stop to watch street performers showing off a talent that they have honed for personal and financial gratification. People are just finding a way to relax and enjoy themselves on a vacation away from the grind of work. As we look a little closer, not everything will always be perfect or honest. In the crowds are the pickpockets, people bullying, and some people just being unpleasant and mean.

    This is every town. Anywhere there are great people and wonderful places to be, you will also find unpleasant people and places.

Chapter 2

The Sea Is Calling

At every shore town lies the edges of water. From rocky ledges to wide sand filled beaches. With every sandy beach you will find a stretch of a big body of water, the ocean. As we go from the sunny and blue skies of the Earth above the water, down to the blue to green colors of the ocean, we have the sunny colors piercing the water. Moving to deeper waters, going down along the sandy floor, the light from our sun pierces through the water less and less until our eyes start to adjust to the darkness of the ocean. As we go deeper into the sea, rolling past seaweed covered rocks and beautifully colored coral, we start to see the living members of the ocean. Groups of fish swim like a line of school children out for a walk. On the ocean floor there are tunnels,

coral, rocks, and other shelters where fish have built homes or safe hiding places. Groups of fish work or play above and in the waves. The larger mammals, whales and dolphins, are jumping out enjoying the unreserved body of water. The surrounds of the Caribbean are known throughout the fish world as the destination of tranquility and adventure.

Finding adventure starts at a very young age. It is the first thought pattern besides food. At first glance, like on the dry side, there can be a sense of a familiarity with the crowded streets of fish endlessly cruising through the parks and shops of a town. Groups of young fish hang out playing tag or hop-splash. Families are enjoying the local ice-seaweed shop. Tasting the new flavors of frozen seaweed mixed with fruits is always popular among the many visitors to the Caribbean. 

There is a reason why fish from around the world visit Our Musical Sphere. The music…ahhhh, the music! The music in the Caribbean is the major reason to visit. Fish from around the world make their way
