Oh Vacation Is So Sweet!!

Vacation is so fabulous!!

We are having a wonderful time. Shawn and I rented a four-wheeler and toured the entire island. It is only 37.5 square miles so it takes about two hours to drive around the entire island. We went to this old coral reef and Shawn found a large conch shell in the water. Even the locals we have become friends with said they have not found them and they have lived here for their entire lives!! We then went out on a speedboat the next day to Tintamarre Island, where we had an ancient volcanic mud bath. When we jumped in the ocean after the mud had dried, our skin was soft as silk. Then we went on to Pinel Island where we ate lunch, laid in the crystal clear waters, and snorkeled over reefs. We saw so many amazing fish, and Shawn found another gigantic conch shell, but the slug was still alive inside so we left it. The waves were bouncy and we were so tired yesterday that we just walked the short five minute jaunt into Philippsburg to shop and hang out. It was awesome and we are having a blast. Today we are just going to hang out and take a hike with our absolutely fabulous new friends from Ontario, Mark and Kathy. We have been having a blast with them and wish they lived closer but they are already promising many trips to see us.

We are going to be so sad to leave, but excited to see Shrek and share our adventures with everyone.
