A day at the Beach!






Jesi and I went to the beach today and had a pretty great day relaxing, eating some good food, swimming and taking a boat ride around the Island in a fishing boat to check some nets with a local fisherman.

We left this morning at about 10am and stopped in Waterloo to pick up some cookies and some cloth to lie on the beach and do some reading. Our Barracuda and onion sauce with rice and potato chips was awesome! At about 1-2 my new friend from last weekend, Tommy came by and I took him up on his offer to go around the Island off the beach in his fishing boat! It was a 20 foot boat with a 5hp engine but actually moved along pretty good.  They dropped us off at the island while they straightened the fishing nets and we walked around looking the wildlife and sitting near the water on some big rocks waiting for boat to return. It did and then back to the main land we went.

I caught some pretty good waives throughout the day just body surfing and worked on my swimming skills. We swam out and around for about half an hour with out touching, or being close enough to the shore to touch for a good workout.

We headed back at about 5 in the evening or so, and we took public transport out and the driver this morning had no phone so we couldn’t call him to come pick us up, so we ended up walking for a while until a taxi came by a ways down the road, and crammed in tight, 4 in front and 4 in back, the car was about the size of a civic…but hey that’s normal here. I Stopped by waterloo on the way back and picked up some canned meat for my omelet in the morning, I am out of spam…
