Back to reality

So today is our last full day :( we are all super sad.  Our plane leaves tomorrow afternoon, so we do have a half day tomorrow but we will probably spend it getting all our stuff gathered up.

So yesterday we ended up spending the WHOLE DAY at the beach! It was great.  I snorkeled for probably close to 4 hours.  They have some beautiful fish here and great coral reefs, not to mention the most gorgeous water in the world.  So guess what I looked like when I came in from sunning it up all day?????.............I WAS A LOBSTER!  I am sunburned beyond belief, and guess what it the worse part, my back from snorkeling! Next time  I will remember to wear sunscreen :)

This is were we spent the whole day soaking up the sun!

For dinner last night we went to the great little Italian place.  It was very quaint, and the food was oh so amazing! The owner was from Italy, and so he threw it down in the kitchen.

Tan line and redness, but still styling!

Today we all just slept in and then Rob, Abby, and Tim did a beach day, while mom and I went to the flamingo show and the zoo.  It was a cute little show and the flamingos were so close.  I also fed some parrots while we were there.

I got a chance to get in the flamingo arena and do my best flamingo pose!


On the way back we had our taxi driver stop at the famous daq shack!  SOOOOOO GOOOD!!  They use fresh fruit cut up right in front of you to make a smoothie like daiquiri concoction.  I had strawberry banana and mom had mango banana.
Just pick your fruit and they will make it for you!


After we got back to the house, I decided sunburnt or not I had to get in one last snorkel and swim in.  This time I didn't stay in the ocean water too long because I saw a sting ray!!!! It was a decent size, and I had been warned they were around the reefs I had been snorkeling, but I'm not that brave yet to stay in the water!

So right now Rob's throwing it down on the grill with some steaks for dinner tonight, and we are going to have one last family night with either phase 10 or a game of Rook! Next time I blog I'll be back in the fabulous USA!!!!
