and I’m having a great time.

I don’t’ know how to actually start this entry… do I just recount what I’ve done the last day? Maybe I should start with how I’m feeling?  Right now I think a little of both may be the way to go… Starting with my bout of narcolepsy that I had yesterday. I guess all the traveling as well as just not getting enough sleep kind of caught up with me. At about 2 I fell asleep until about 6, got up and ate and watched some videos. It wasn’t long until I was asleep again, and didn’t wake up until about 9 in the morning. All good, this is a vacation so what ever happens, happens.

  

The week is all about just taking it easy, so this morning I headed to the beach for a walk around, but that got boring pretty quickly. I headed back to the hotel, changed and was in the water in no time. The water is perfect here, warm with big waves.  I can’t stress the big waves enough, some of them are huge maybe 10 feet.  Even through the terror of seeing a huge wave coming towards me, it still has a sort of “siren call” that draws me in. In fact, if it wasn’t for the sun and inevitable sunburn I’d probably be out right now. I’ve been taking videos of me in the surf, and I don’t’ know how, but I hope that I’ll be able to stitch it into an interesting video for youtube. If not, it will serve to remind me of the fun that I’m having, and I am having fun.

  

I left the hotel about 12 to go do some snorkeling. I’m a little bit disappointed in the choices that I seem to have. I’ve been told there are two places, one way off the beach that I have to hire a boat, and one right on the beach. I opted for the beach one today. Although I had a blast the spot was right on the beach and the waves kept pushing me around. There was surprisingly a lot of fish to see, and the whole time I was videoing myself and the fish. Again, I hope that I can think of some way to put it into a fun video.

  

A funny thing happened after I finished the first round of snorkeling. Usually I like being under water only to see the fish, and to see what I can’t from the shore, but today I finished my first dive and was sitting in the sand thinking about calling it a day and to my surprise I wanted to be under the water again. I wanted to hear the sound of my breathing; the view from beneath the water, the things that up until today was just a byproduct of being able to see under water was now something that I wanted.

  

I’m sitting in the restaurant of the hotel drinking beer and enjoying life… it really is a good life.  The only thing that would make it better was to have someone here with me. I usually don’t care whether I’m by my self or with someone, but usually I’m constantly moving from one city or spot to another, this vacation I’m not doing that. I’m in one spot and not planning on traveling at all, that kind of leaves me wishing there was someone else here.
