Paradise

We've just been kickin' it in paradise this past week. Seriously, it's great. We never know what time it is, we spend all of our time on the beach, in the water, or in a restaurant. You can walk anywhere within like 10 minutes, beach can be seen in almost every direction. It is unbelievable. The water is so warm and so clear. Nanette teaches us her synchronized swimming techniques after wh ich we see how far we can throw each other by standing on each other's shoulders and shooting up into the air. Granted most people do this kind of thing with their 8-year old children, but since we're on vacation this is allowed for us as well--even if it does turn heads.

We saw 3 sharks while scuba diving! Apparently they're not dangerous, but still, slightly alarming. We also saw a harlequin shrimp, which apparently people dive for years looking for. We saw two our first day! Our guide is the only one in the shop that knows where they are. When we were on the boat the other insturctors were asking him to show them and he was laughing and telling us there are like 6 people on the island that know how to find them, and they keep it a secret...and then he showed us. I don't know why he wasn't concerned that me and Mallorie would navigate our way back and share his secret :)
