 Elora is a teenage activist blogging about her experiences in Taiji, Japan where The Cove was filmed. Scott, her dad, works for Sea Shepherd and together they have been documenting the Japanese dolphin hunting season since it began in September 2011. They are both friends of mine based in Edmonds, Washington and although Dive Into Your Imagination may not believe in all of Elora’s thoughts expressed in her blog, she is truly courageous and an inspiration. Thank you Elora for all you are doing.
 I love rainy windy days here! It keeps the hunters away! I never thought I would love rain SO much!
This morning we all left for the Cove at 6:30 , fully expecting the hunters to go out. Some weather reports were very iffy and left us confused. We were so surprised when we drove up to a very windy Cove! It was wonderful! Such a nice sight, I see it a lot when the weather is bad (good)… but it just gets nicer and nicer to see that empty Cove!
Today I did my first on camera interview, for a movie!!! Haha I really didn’t expect any of this when we came to Japan, so you have to understand that this is all VERY surreal to me! But it wasn’t at all what I thought it would be! Haha I was so worried that I would get nervous in front of the camera and stumble over all my words etc etc. But I just talked to Suzanne like I have the past few days and tried to ignore the cameras, I really enjoyed our conversation! And I’m told that it looks good on film haha! So I thought that was a really cool part of my day that I wanted to share with you!
She asked me what I thought when I first came, if I thought my blog would be this popular, how I am feeling now… they were all questions that I was really comfortable with Thank you Suzanne!
Well I really don’t have ANYTHING to write about today… it was very low key and rainy. I love these days, I’m not dealing with the emotional roller-coster! We are expecting more Cove guardians soon this week!
Today Ron Ball had to leave, we hope we get to see him again someday!
For the Animals,
Elora Malama
