Hello all, just a little catching up to do on the blog! We have all been so busy with studying for our final test, attempting to finish our final projects, meeting the law students, and spending as much time as possible on the beach before we have to come home. Fortionately Wednesday was break from all of the hustle and bustle and was spent leisurely sailing down the southern side of the island.
Well when I say leisurely I mean it rained for bit and then it was very choppy, luckily none of us became seasick, and then it became sunny and perfect! We left from Trois Islet and sailed down Diamant around a tiny rock island that one hundred English men lived on for a year and half while fighting the French! On the way back we stopped in three different places to snorkel and swim. We had lots of fun seeing all of the mutli-colored fish ahile avoiding the yellow coral that burns like fire. They were so bright in the sunlight! At the second stop we had fish or chicken for lunch, and then a dish of cheese followed by a wonderful cup of chopped fruit! We had a blast diving and connon-balling off the front of the catamaran, got a little sun while relaxing in the nets, chatted completely carefree and enjoyed the marvelous view of orange and black rocks, crystal clear torquoise water and yellow and black striped fish! Our third stop was what they called black cove in English. It was a tiny little beach known for being the farthest south beach with black sand! We got to practice some French with the other French tourists on the boat as well, answering some of the common where are you from and what are you studying questions. Everyone was very nice. To finish off the trip we stopped at a bat cave and saw so many bats!
I got a little pink from the sun, but spending all day on boat on the water and not ending up looking like a lobster is pretty good I think! Only a few more days and we will be home to see all of you again!
