Sunburns, snorkeling, and sailing


I am exhausted! Today Alex and I went on a boat trip for the entire day around the island. We left at 9 am and got back at 5 pm. We got to go snorkeling in crystal clear water in piscinas naturales. We then visited different deserted beaches that were beautiful. At one of the beaches we ate lunch. We continued on sailing through a huge river that divides the main island into smaller ones. We sailed past mangroves and huge palm trees. We met a couple of women from Argentina-three from Cordoba and 2 from Buenos Aires, who were very friendly. Then we were back on the ocean and saw both dophins and sea turtles! By the end of the day, I had had too much sun, so as soon as we were let off the boat, we went back to our hostel-pousada-and fell asleep. Now we are about to meet the Argentinians we met for dinner. Alex and I want to go party after, as this island seems to be a huge party place, but we dont know if we will last that long because the heat has really gotten to us. Did I mention Alex and I got sunburned-again?? No matter how much sunscreen we apply, that sun is nasty! Tomorrow we leave bright and early for a town called Valenca, which is a boat ride away. Then we are taking a bus for about 5 hours to our next destination!
