Dearest friends and family,
Saturday was a dream. First of all, we did not get lost. Praise the Lord for that. After a short drive, we boarded a catamaran & headed out to sea toward Catalina Island. The crew was very, let’s just say, unique, including a man in a wig and some vaguely suggestive dancers. Such is life. They sure were entertaining. Before getting to the island, we stopped & snorkeled around the reef just out from shore. The most definitive thing learned during the day is that no one looks good in a snorkel mask. After following fish & swimming over to the “abyss” (an eerie 150-foot drop-off near the reef), we got back on the boat and docked at the island. Picture crystal clear turquoise water, palm trees, and locals selling coconuts. Our day was filled with sunburned noses, beach volleyball, sleeping in the sun, cliff jumping, an all-you-can-eat buffet, and paddling in the shallows. Despite a few skinned knees & a toe inflicted by a sea urchin, our day was full & rich & fun, or in the eloquent words of one of our team members “flippin’ awesome.” After returning home sticky and salty, we split up into groups to have dinner at restaurants throughout Juan Dolio, most of them on the beach. Praise God for a day to simply play! Prayers appreciated as we prepare to start a new week & welcome new members to our team. The sweat squad is rested & sunburned & happy.
