caribbean waters

It's true that the Caribbean is home to some of the most beautiful water- clear, blue, and warm. Often times when I go to the beach, I like swimming in the ocean but get too scared of sharks or jellyfish or crabs or even fish to stay in for too long. The water here was so clear that it erased any mystery of "what lies beneath," and we fearlessly swam, floated, and dove to the depths...

the calmest water

boats with home-made sails passed by every afternoon

often the sails were made of "USAID" tarps...

I finally conquered the art of floating! I feel like such a grown up ;)

the land in the distance is the large island that sits in the gulf of the country 

bear with me on this "series" of posts from our short get-away... it was just so beautiful, and we took too many pictures not to share a bunch of them! We are working hard this week, so with each of these posts, I am going back in my mind ;)
