Since the last blog, we have seen and swam in a lot of water. On Monday we took a really cool, mostly wooden, boat out on the water on the eastern coast of the island and made our way to a few islands and got the chance to swim and snorkel around the ocean and also explore the island (which were not fun to walk around on barefoot). The entire day was tiring but so worth it, the views, both above and below water, were wild.
On Tuesday we had a guest speaker come in and talk about contaminated old mining sites on the island that are still an issue to date. It was really interesting to see how one period in the island’s history was still having such a large impact on it now. Also, it was mildly concerning that one of the pictures that the presenter scrolled through was of a stream that we had walked through to get to some really cool sand dunes, oh well.
Today was another amazing beach day. We went to a fairly uncrowded beautiful beach and basically had the water to ourselves. While the wind on the beach was pretty strong the sun was definitely stronger! Between swimming around in the crystal clear water and eating so much ice cream, it’s safe to say that I’m exhausted.
