On Vacation

Dear Ones,
     
       My goodness do we miss you boys! But we are having so many wonderful adventures and can't wait to tell you all about them when we get back. I'm writing to you from what seems to be a converted chicken coop on the farm, now serving as an internet station. Fairly typical of things on this island I have to say!

We've been snorkeling every day and seen lots of colored fish (no Nemo yet, but we'll keep looking), a stingray, some orange starfish that are as big as daddy's head and even an octupus who was curled up inside the biggest conch shell we've ever seen! Tomorrow Bing is going to take us in the boat out to the reef where we can seen bigger fish and even some sharks! We may go fishing while we're out there and if we catch anything Paola will cook it for us for dinner, isn't that cool?!

We have to walk quite a ways to get to the village for supplies, and then carry them all back-  quite a workout! But there are tons of neat things to see on the way,( as much as I can see anyway from having the sweat pouring down my face and into my eyes - it's HOT here!), we've seen lots of little black lizards, chickens, goats, a cow and an enormous iguana that really took daddy by surprise on our walk. He had black and white stripes and a red tinted comb down his back- very grand looking but we decided not to get too close.

We have a little casita all to ourselves which is nice, although the rooster wakes us up very early every morning since the sun rises around 4:30am here. Last night we were trying to learn how to play Yahtzee and I had a bit of a scare from two Very Big Spiders. Daddy killed them for me because, as you know, he is very brave and bold- just like you two.

Not sure when I'll have the computer to use again, but we'll check in as soon as we can! Mommy and Daddy LOVE LOVE LOVE you both so much!

Love,

me
