Day 14: Snorkeling

Went snorkeling today down the road near the Robins Bay Hotel. Kwao took us after we had gathered all the gear we needed. We started at a calm beach and swam around until Kwao knew where he wanted to be headed. It was truly amazing. Kwao describes snorkeling as visiting another world, almost like another planet. I agree entirely. The sensation of floating on the top of the water, observing other life forms with the sound of your own breathing, and the feeling of only the roll of the currents is unique. It was hard work, though, and a great workout.

Some cool things I saw:

• Lots of interesting coral
• A starfish
• Sea fans
• Lots of urchins
• Fish: needle fish, Sergeant Major Damselfish, Caribbean Blue Tang, pufferfish (only ones I could identify by asking or looking online) but saw many more. A few in particular struck me: one very dark blue with electric blue spots, bright yellow fish, long silvery fish with a blue head, and dark brown fish. 

Yesterday I recieved lots of interesting websites and PDFs from Agape as resources for reading. It all looks so interesting and I have already delved into it all. I am constantly learning in one way or another here.
