8/17/2010 - Rec and Travel!

(Above is Ojo de Agua)

Started our day off with a nature walk through a lagoon that was near our hotel. There is a legend surrounding the lagoon that the person who first owned it, made a deal with the devil in exchange for a loved one's soul. It's said that if you come at midnight and have a shaman with you, that you can make a deal, too. I guess selling Ben's soul to get into vet school would be a little extreme, right?

Next we went to my absolute favorite spot on the island - it is called Ojo de Agua and is a spring. The water temperature was perfect, the sun was perfect, the views were perfect. I couldn't have been happier. I would have happily spent an entire week there!

For lunch, we went to a restaurant owned by a family from Massachusetts. The restaurant was gorgeous and even tough it took a while to get the food, I loved it! They have a small hotel that is geared towards English speaking backpackers. I asked for a job and they said yes. J So, I promptly texted Ben and asked him to bring Trinity and some clothes. The team made me get on the bus anyway…

Eventually, we took the ferry back to the mainland (with less bugs on the way back, yay!). The trip is WAY longer when you aren't doped up on Dramamine like I was the first time! :)
And on a side note - at this hotel, our room flooded, twice. Soggy, moldy, poopy clothes smell GREAT!
