I'm not going to post anything for the next week as we're taking a break for our travels and just hanging out here. We have no big plans besides going to the beach, reading and snorkling. The kids love it here. It is very safe and they can run around barefoot and watch iguanas and go for rides in the golf cart. Yesterday when Patrick and I took our scuba encounter dive they enjoyed hanging out on the boat with the crew. Sofia bonded with the dive companys' underwater photographer, Molly. She sat right next to her in the boat, chatting away and was thrilled when Molly gave her a Barracuda jawbone with the teeth still intact that she found on our dive. Otis got to sit up at the front of the boat for the ride out. When it was my turn to fall backwards into the water off the side of the boat I must have looked a little nervous because Otis put his hand on my shoulder and said "Breathe IN. Breathe OUT. Breathe IN. Breathe OUT."
Diving was fabulous. We had a great time, once the initial jitters passed. Patrick has his advanced open water certification but hasn't been diving for a long time so he came along with me for moral support and to refresh his skills before going in some bigger dives. The visibility was greater than 30 feet. Between that and snorkling from the boat the day before we saw a variety of fish and even three giant sea turtles. As we were ascending to the surface of our big dive we saw that it was raining on the surface. It was so peaceful looking from below. We climbed out into warm rain and dark skies and then it poured for hours. The street outside our hotel was flooded with water. Now I understand why the curbs are so high! It was nice to have a rainy day and stay in for the rest of the day.
