JaMissie ... a question for you ~

the kitchen counter / sink space ... is it built from floor up with the concrete blocks and then the tile placed over???

<span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS'"><span style="font-size: 11pt">Garfield dropped me off and I headed into 23-7. Since I'd been down there a couple of times, I was waving and saying hi to the staff. The beach was very empty the entire time I was there. One day I went out and I could count the number of people in the water on two hands. Today was another empty day. Didn't matter to me. I mostly laid in the shade, listened to the Ipod, or played in the water. I was debating on what I wanted to do today. I started to talk to Captain Moses. I recognized him from I think Laurel and Vi's trip reports. Anyway the rate was good, plus I was going to be the only person on the trip. This was cool with me because he explained that when he takes people on tours he likes to have a person actually tour them around in the water. We had to hurry b/c again we were chasing the sun. You could tell that it was going to rain again.

<span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS'"><span style="font-size: 11pt">That was the best snorkeling trip I've ever had. We got out into the ocean. Captain asked me if I needed a life jacket. I told him, no I'm a good swimmer. He jumped in first. I swung my legs over the side and jumped in. Oh my goodness, I jumped right into a school of fish. I was excited and freaking out at the same time. There were fish all over me. I was screaming under the water and laughing at the same time. I waved at him to grab his hand and we explored the water for a long time. The entire time, I was yelling and giggling b/c I was so excited. I let go of his hand quickly and was doing twirls under the water I was so excited. I remember just motioning to him and opening up my hands wide as if to say-all this. I didn't realize all of this was under there. By the time I came up I could hardly see the boat anymore we had gone so far. I didn't even realize it. Captain Moses swooped down and brought up a big round thing. I'm freaking out waving my hands no. He comes up above the water and explains that it is a sea cucumber and that it won't hurt me. I start to feel it. It is all wiggly. I'm giggling again. He puts it back on the ocean floor. Later he brings up a big starfish for me to touch. It was so cool. He's telling me the names of the fish and I'm just in heaven. I've been snorkeling 3 times before this and never seen so much. I was in heaven.

We must have been out on the water for about an hour and a half. I didn't even feel it. I was from grinning ear to ear when we got back on the boat. It was so cool to swim in a school of fish. They just treated you as if you were one of them and just scooted around you. I could hardly feel them at all. I totally loved the experience and was ready to go out again another day! He remarked that I was a good swimmer. I knew I was going to have another early night. We headed back to the shore and I gave him the biggest hug. I think I floated back to the hills I was so happy!</span></span>

<span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS'"><span style="font-size: 11pt">K&J-Yeah, I saw him out there everyday. He was great!! he told me that you really do have a different experience under the water when a person can show you where you should go to see the fish. He was leading me all over the place and pointing out things that, if I were alone, I would have never seen. Awesome guy.

Peace and Blessings </span></span>
