Day 4 and Day 5

Day 4 was a lot like Friday mainly laid around by the pool and went to the beach. We went to this place on the beach that had a variety of T-shirts that visitors to the island have signed and left. It was really interesting because we found once that was from Carolina Beach and had the last name of one of my students from Wilmington. For the rest of Saturday we just enjoyed the time off and relaxed.

Day 5 was a very productive day. A group of us went to get breakfast then went snorkeling. A few days prior, at Lola's Pub, we met a guy name Lou. He offered to take us out on his boat to go snorkeling for a very discounted price. So after eating that morning we went to go rent our equipment and meet Lou. After spending way too much time at the rental place trying on each pair of fins they had, Lou just came and picked us up on his boat.

The travel to our snorkeling spot was great, we got to see the other side of the island and the bright blue water. We thought we found the head bangers house, which was this guy named matt that we met at Legends that Friday. We took a picture of the house so we could email him and ask him.

When snorkeling we got to see a lot of different fish and the reef. Also on our travels we spotted a stingray which was huge. It was amazing. After snorkeling for a few hours we went conch fishing so that we could taste conch ceviche. I felt bad for the little guys. They were being plucked from the ocean and beaten out of their shells. However, it was a very interesting experience to see the process of getting and cooking conch. After going snorkeling, seeing the lagoon, hanging out with Lou's family and eating conch we headed back to Pedro's. On our way we found out that the whole country had a power outage. So for about six hours there was no power. Needless to say we did not shower and we felt gross. With the whole island being out of power for that long and that being the first time they had ever experienced something like that I was a little nervous. It got dark very quickly. However, the power did come back on that night around nine which was great because I was getting a little worried about not being able to shower for school the next morning. Over all it was a pretty productive day.
