The Cowboy and the Mermaid

The Cowboy and the Mermaid

The next morning they had one more training session and both got new belts. Today is their last day in Shang Simla and they spend it walking some of the lovely paths in the low hills. While walking they found a few more excavation sites and found some broken pottery and a gem or two. Soon it was time to go back to the hostel and pack up and catch their flight.

The plane lands and they take a taxi to a houseboat that Dwight rented in Isla Paradiso. Lorelei is excited to be back in her hometown and can't wait to show Dwight the beautiful waters she grew up in. They sit on the deck enjoying the sun and sounds of the surf and the gulls as they dive around the waters searching for fish. (I totally love the ambiance of IP and really need to fix a world for sims to live in)

Dwight had a crash course in driving a houseboat by the realtor and they decide to move the boat away from land into the open waters. Lorelei fixes some drinks at the bar and then joins Dwight in the bridge room.

Dwight manages to get the large houseboat through the narrow channel and they soon arrive at their first destination. The area is called Rocky Reef and is aptly named with abundance of rocks and several caves to explore. Coming face to face with a seahorse was a bit of a surprise for Dwight seeing such an unusual creature. Lorelei snatched it quickly for her home aquarium. She needs to find it a mate though.

Lorelei and Dwight decide to explore one of the caves together.

Back on the houseboat, Dwight prepares dinner. Lets see how spaghetti and kelp tastes.

After dinner Dwight plays the guitar that a previous renter must have left on board the boat. It has a good sound, but, he likes the electric one that Lorelei gave him better. Lorelei has started working on her book about the discovery of the underwater memorial.

At the end of the day, they snuggle together whispering sweet words of love and enjoying the closeness that two lovers share.
