I was awakened this morning at 0845 with our neighbors - a local family - blaring Spanish music. I thought for sure this was Wes trying to get us up and moving, so I reluctantly got up to find I was the only one awake. Everyone else was still in bed and seemingly unable to hear a thing.
Our morning started slowly - Wes had breakfast on the porch, Keagan did his Bible study, Evan did some school work, and I took my Kindle poolside.
For today’s adventure I booked a snorkeling trip with sea turtles. We consider ourselves to be experienced snorkelers; we can say we have swam with sharks, sting rays, and all kinds of fish but sea turtles have evaded us. Our guide took us to Tres Trapi Beach where just outside the swimming area is sea grass that the turtles feed upon. Just arm lengths away we swam with the turtles! Amazing! We also saw a barracuda feeding on a bright blue parrotfish, and we caught a defense mechanism in play when a flying gurnard changed his color to bright pink. Stepping out of the water and onto the rocky steps, I spotted a kododo, a turquoise lizard that I thought for sure was an imaginary animal!
Our quest to eat only the best food this week continues. We had dinner outside as the sun set.
We are sun kissed, bellies full, and ready for sleep. The best part is we get to do it again tomorrow.
