What's a yurt?

When Paul told me that we'd be staying in a yurt on our Canadian diving adventure, I must admit I was a bit apprehensive. Of course I would not be diving on this trip so I was wondering what kind of place I'd be hanging out in all day...a yurt?

It turned out to be wonderful! We actually didn't stay in the yurt because the owners of the dive company thought I'd be more comfortable if I didn't have to walk outside in the middle of the night to use the bathroom. However, the yurts were awesome and I'd definitely be up for camping out in one of those!

Paul got to do six dives in three days, had a great time, and saw lots of cool marine life. I got to hike, play with dogs, and was actually forced to relax a bit.
