Wonderful, warm water. We swam and swam, but Juju and Maya had time to pose with their Martha Washington water hairdos.
Martha close-up.
We got Doug a du-rag from a truck stop in Louisiana ($2.49 - super cheap for that good look) and he posed at the pizza shop.
Second night of camping we were next to a very animated group had arrived - the last straw was when, at 7AM, the abuela shouted "arriba arriba" to her family to rustle them out of bed. We all were less than happy with that wake up call.
On our second day there we decided to stay all day on the Atlantic side. Less people, more wildlife. What luck! Juju, Maya and I were standing in the water and got to see a manta ray jump out of the water about 100 feet from us. Beautiful!
I spotted a little island a ways out and wanted to go out to it - Doug suggested we take a kayak while he lounged on the beach. I got the kayak and Doug decided it looked like too much fun so he climbed in with the girls and I swam. There were loads of conch and some bahama sea stars on the sea floor, and at one point I dove down and came up with a large, beautiful shell (not a conch - those are illegal to take)to bring home.
There's the island behind J and M. They were great at kayaking when they did it on their own for practice.
At the little island, Maya found a sea sponge treasure. She wanted to take it home, but these things rot and stink...
Juju and Maya were so happy to have Daddy with us!
