Surf

The rain had cleared out by this morning, leaving a lot of wind and rough surf in its place. We played around in the surf this morning but it was too rough even for me. So we abandoned the beach after a while and read by the pool and then went to the spa for our scheduled sessions.

I had a chocolate massage, and Abby had a chocolate body wrap. The difference seemed to be that hers involved being rubbed all over with melted chocolate and then being wrapped in cellophane, while mine involved being rubbed all over with melted chocolate and then being rubbed all over with melted chocolate some more. And there was some incense-burning, palm-frond waving, and ukelele playing thrown in there too (something about cleansing the spirit). At any rate, it was spirit-cleansing and everything (I guess), but I spent most of the time wondering how this chocolate mess would come off of me. (Turns out there was a shower in the room that I hadn't noticed). It did smell very good though (like brownie batter) so I was sad to wash it off.

Afterwards we sat by the pool and read some more -- having finished Slam, I started on Stephenie Meyer's Twilight. Tomorrow we're getting up bright and early for some sort of jungle tour thing... it involves riding a waverunner through a mangrove swamp, and then some snorkeling, apparently. I'll let you know how that turns out. I've never driven a waverunner before.
