Tropical Delight

Yesterday we enjoyed a little reprieve from the demands of our course schedule, and spent the day at the ocean.  The photos don’t do justice to the turquoise blue of the water that day.  The kids spent the day hunting for shells, crabs and sea cucumbers.  I’m told that just beyond that island in the photo is a coral reef and drop off not unlike the one in “Finding Nemo”.  We did take a canoe out to explore that little island, and imagined how we’d survive if we were marooned there, but I spent most of my time just sitting on that tree listening to the water lap against the shore.
