Yesterday was a quiet, hang-out-by-the-pool, read, catch-a-movie kind of day. We saw Austin Powers: Goldmember and then grilled ourselves some porkchops that were very yummy! It sprinkled on and off all day and then as we were walking home from the movie it suddenly poured! It stopped long enough for us to cook our dinner on one of the communal grills and then it poured again!

This morning was grey and somber. We drove a little to the south to find a man made cove for snorkling. There were TONS of fish! A school of big, blue and yellow butterfly fish swam past us several times and at one point we were surrounded with a hundred or so fish of different variety. It was amazing! Snorkling is my kind of sport. You can be active and swim around looking into all the nooks and crannies or you can just lie there and float, watching things swim past you while the waves rock you gently. It is so quiet too! The only things I could hear were my own breathing (sounding like Darth Vader!) and the waves crashing on the rocks in the distance. Sometimes I could hear bubbles. Very peaceful. Quite a contrast to what we were hearing with our heads above water. There were some teenaged girls that were screaming and grabbing the nearest person every time they saw something move. The kind of person who should just stay in the hotel pool! I just stuck my head underwater and kicked in the other direction.
