Day Four

Learning about the Property

The pictures really don't have anything to do with the comentary on this issue.

We met with the Sales guy in the morning, and he answered several questions which we had prepared.

One of the most important was concerning a new snorkeling spot, which we will try on Day five. Information to follow.

This hotel sits on an area where four (4) man-made lagoons are located.

We went to lagoons 1 and 2 in the afternoon, and found that the snorkeling was excellant. The fish were not so plentiful, but they were large and there was a huge variety. As the coral expands and the reef matures, it will be able to support a larger poplulation and the snorkeling will improve.

We went to dinner in an outdoor cafe, and the rains decended upon us. At first it was just a fine mist, but when our chicken pasta came (excellant food, by the way) it started to pour. The waiters and bus-persons were handing out towels.

A few nights ago, we were on the beach and smelled smoke. It turns out that a car was burning. The flames were about 10 feet high, and scorched the tree above it. There is now burnt oil and ash all over the side-walk there. The funny thing is, that as the smoke was at its thickest, the band began to play "Smoke gets in your eyes."

Not quite like the other days so far, but Day four has been okay.
