President's day in the US! I'm up and doing my hour's walk by 6:30 AM. It is gorgeous and hot already, and the hills are killing me! I'm a flatlander at heart! I love sitting on the balcony for my morning coffee and pineapple. K & C just left for a truck trip to the beach for their morning walk. Ch and A are still sleeping, but we will go for breakfast before 10 AM.
What a treat! K brought me back a REAL coffee...yes, the ubiquitous Starbuck's is on the beach. We're hanging about until 1 PM when the truck will take us to the glass-bottomed boat tour. Someone who had gone snorkeling said there was little to see, so we 5 chose to take the boat instead. It was a 2 hour ride over coral reefs to a spot where you could jump off the boat and snorkel. We found Nemo and lots of baby Nemos and Dories, too. ..brilliant blue starfish were exceptionally beautiful. K, C, and A all put on life jackets and jumped in the water to snorkel. Ch and I stayed on board and took pictures...the coast was gorgeous, and we saw "Crocodile Island," a rock shaped like a crocodile that stuck out from our island paradise.
Before we boarded, we shopped at a small stand where we bought crystal necklaces and a shell ankle bracelet for A. The owner made many more ankle bracelets during our boat trip, and we left the beach with ankle bracelets for us and friends.
We actually ate Mexi food on the beach for dinner, "OK" when you are far from TX and desperate. The Mango Margaritas are beneficial for your health, too!
Forced family fun...F cubed...is becoming too much for this loner at heart. I think I must take a break away during the upcoming days...don't forget to view the boat adventure pictures!
