I’m back from my trip and I had so much fun. It felt like we were non-stop the whole time. Right when we got off the plane, we went on our first dive. I’ll post a video soon from all the diving we did.

We stayed on the west side of the island, where we could watch the amazing sunset right from our balcony. Since we were so non-stop it was hard for me to get a good sunrise. Every morning we woke up early to go diving or snorkeling so on our last day there, I finally got the chance to take a sunrise. We grabbed a taxi at 5:30am and asked to go to the beach. Once we got there, some police officers stopped us and said that the beaches are closed until 6:30. In my head I was kinda freaking out. I had to go somewhere to and get the sunrise or else why did I wake up so early. I tried asking the taxi driver if there was anywhere we could go to get a good view of the sunrise, if not at the beach but luckilyhe did some sweet talking and the cops let us take pictures right at the entrance of the beach. Although we didn’t get to go to the spot we wanted, I’m glad I at least got something.

The cops also said if we had gotten there 20 minutes earlier, we would of seen a sea turtle laying her eggs. It was pretty cool because we did see the big whole she dug and her little footprints. I really wish I had been able to see that. Something you don’t see in DC.
