Joya on her new scooter!
The scooters are a blast! They're such a fun way to explore the neighboring areas. And… what do you know? Not far up the road was not only a coffee shop with lattes (and good ones at that!), but also broadband internet access cards!! Voila! Joya and I are now back online! And we had fabulous coffee! We spent the day scootering around the area and every time we'd pass through town the locals who rented us the scooters would stand up and cheer and clap. It was all too funny. They must have thought we were crazy zooming back and forth all day with huge smiles on our faces. We rented snorkeling gear and spent an hour in the early evening swimming with beautiful schools of salt water fish in our own little version of the Discovery Channel. My first reef snorkeling experience and it certainly didn't disappoint. Every kind of electric blue, bright yellow and iridescent green fish you’ve ever seen in salt water fish store aquariums are here. And there are tons of bright blue starfish too. I’ll definitely be buying an underwater camera tomorrow to get some pictures. We finished the day with a fantastic dinner in town and narrowly averted a near disaster when Joya got a little daring on her scooter in a tight corner with gravel. I swear she was full skid for a solid 5 seconds or more. Thank goodness for those mountain biking skills!
We were born to be scooter models!
