October 19th (dia diecineuve) - Tranquilo
Mihai's condition is not too much better today, but our good friend Juan meets us in the lobby around eleven-thirty and promises us a full day of adventure...
Our tour guide has definitely proven his worth when we first spot a turtle from the boat as we churn our way through waves in the ocean. Upon seeing the turtle he dove off the speeding boat like a mad man and tackled this huge turtle while we watched on from the boat. Within seconds he has managed to wrestle this turtle and dragged it into the boat for some pictures. Altogether we dive into the water for some underwater pictures and off we speed again in pursuit of dolphins that just seem to be a little too fast for us to catch... Our fishing line has neglected to catch anything either, but cheerful, we head to a secluded beach to do some snorkling among the coral.
Our good friend again has proven his worth by bringing us to a great little seafood diner on the beach, where I dine on some octopus, shrimps and oysters. With my mojo starting to churn, we down some Tequilas and head back to the city...
We have much left to travel and unfortunately must leave this place in the morning, but spending a week here would be easy to say the least. It amazes me how simple life here can be, and how enjoyable. I wonder if I could ever live the same way, give up the luxuries that just don't seem to be so necessary now, and just live off the beach, fish for your meal everyday and just hangout.
I wonder...

the seagulls and beach umbrellas ignored you i take it? that does sound like a wonderful place! *contemplates replacing the rebel's battery before you get back and leaving you a note on the door!*
