Turtle Island

Trish was feeling good and we had the day off Tuesday so we headed to the beach for the day. We went to a place called Turtle Island and it was amazing. We had a chance to go snorkeling while we were there. This was the first time that Trish had tried to go since she got hurt. They took us out in a little boat and we snorkeled around a small island. The attitudes of everyone here continue to amaze me. We are use to having to talk people into letting us try things like this, but here they have the attitude that sure you can go and we’ll just figure it out! We saw lots of colorful fish and Trish had no problems at all and loved it. Getting back in the boat in the middle of the ocean was a little challenging, but really not that big of a deal. We just hung out on the beach the rest of the day and relaxed! It was a great day!
Here she is, excited to go to Turtle Island, looking beautiful!

Here we are in the ocean. This is the boat that took us snorkeling. You can also see the small island that we snorkeled around.


What a view. You can see the beach chairs that we hung out in.



Here we are, relaxing on the beach with our friend Gael.
