SNORKLING

Hello everyone

So guess what? I swam in the ocean for the first time in my life yesterday, it was really pretty, I went snorkling and it was so cool... I was really scared at first, but we had a buddy system and my partner (Ben) had been before and he jumped out first and he was all “hurry up Rachel, I want to go right now!” so I was forced to face my fear right away and jump in. Let me tell you, it was the best thing ever it was so pretty I saw so many cool colourful fish. OK so Mom this ones for you...we need to go to the Caribbean on a vacation because I don't know if you have ever been there...but yeah we need to. And this is for Momma Romkema... I now understand why you love the Caribbean or any hot place by the ocean, and Jason we have to go for a week sometime next winter sometime awesome. So we went on this like little boat for about 45 min I guess, it was really fun except the waves were big so it hurt a lot when we hit them hard. But finally we got to the tiny island it was so pretty literally it was like a post card I couldn't believe how pretty it was and the ocean oh man awesome...just like I've always thought it would be. Check out facebook guys, I have a bunch of pictures up and more to come and you can actually see where I was and how nice it was. The sun was really hot and powerful and I'm paying for it right now. I got heat stroke last night and fell asleep really early and woke up a bunch of times in immense pain and ended up getting out of bed early because it hurt to much to try and sleep...it was so much fun but I wish I had thought about sunscreen earlier then I did...but its almost time for church so I must go and get changed into more appropriate attire.

Ok, so church is over now and it was pretty cool, very involved although they spoke creole, so I didn't understand more then half of it but yeah that's ok I guess it was also 2 hours long...but again oh well haha

Peace!
