I laugh at myself. I re-read the previous post and thought, man, you had no idea. This place is so uninhabited that I fear big city dwellers might go into complete and utter shock upon their visit here.
What day is it again? Oh yeah, Wednesday, Christmas Eve. I think we ran out of stuff to do on Monday. It became readily apparent that the diving was going to continually pretty much suck. Of course, this crew and I are spoiled. We've dived in some pretty amazing places. So this wasn't one of them. Not even close. Fortunately, it was just interesting enough to give us another on a very short list of things to do, other than reading, sleeping, drinking, and laying on the beach.
The beaches here are spectacular, so for that reason alone I can recommend Isla Contadora. I think it makes for a great honeymoon spot. For me, I'm just SO very glad I downloaded the first full season of "The Wire." I need more intellectual stimulation than a small island can afford, even if I am on on vacation!
We tried to get out of here on the early flight today, but it was full. So, instead we headed back down to the beach to kill 90 minutes, taking one last snorkel (upon which George saw two stingrays). Me, I saw some fish eating on the bottom, but I was "masking" instead of "snorkeling." Masking's just as fun, but you have to come up for air and you wear no fins.
We came back to the hotel and cleaned up, and now we're going to be checking out, supposedly. Check out time was 10 minutes ago. That's how laid back it is here. Not sure what we're going to do for lunch, but I do have some plain bread cookies I bought for $1.25 which I've been feeding off of for 3 days now. Talk about value!
Please pray for us as we take off in the Dehavilland Twin Otter. So far all the planes have made it off that short runway just fine….
