Waves


So we went out and did our one non-lying-on-the-beach activity this morning. It was supposed to be a "jungle tour" where you ride waverunners through a mangrove swamp and then go snorkeling. Well, they weren't real waverunners (as you can see by the picture), and there was not much jungle involved in the mangrove swamp. We saw a heron or stork or egret or some such thing, and that was it except for the fish we saw during the snorkeling part.
Driving the waverunner (type thing) was fun, though Abby back seat drove the whole time and was worried about falling off. I wasn't worried about falling off, I was just slightly worried about losing my (one and only) contact lens in a wave. Which didn't happen, though we did get swamped a few times by some big waves. The biggest of which almost did knock Abby off, but she held on though she did scrape her foot and knee. She got treated at the first aid station when we got back to the dock. It wasn't due to my driving, I swear!
Anyway now we're back, after a detour for some lunch and souvenir shopping. A nap is looking awfully good right about now.
