Caribbean Christmas 12/25

Merry Christmas!!!

It looks like Santa found us.

We decided to take it easy today and just snorkel near the boat dock a few houses down from our apartment.

We saw a few jellyfish in the water, but not many, so we weren't really worried.

After swimming for a bit, Jenna said she thought she felt a jelly fish sting her elbow. I told her that it most likely wasn't a jellyfish...there weren't that many out here. Basically I told her to suck it up and keep on going. Not more than 5 minutes later, I felt a stabbing sensation on my thigh. Just one little poke. But the pain grew more and more intense, and I wondered if  Jenna really had (and me, too) actually been stung.

Then we saw this...

I know it is really difficult to see, but just below the water line is a fluffy fuzzy looking mass of blue. This is a WALL of mating jellyfish. Jenna and I hurried to get out, and noticed that she had a sting on her elbow and I had about 30 on my thigh. We were DONE with snorkeling for the day!!!!

Now that we had our fill with snorkeling, we took off on a drive.

Here's another light house with an abandoned keeper house next to it.

We watched the waves crash upon the rocks.

There are a lot of HUGE cactus groves.

JB eating our traditional Christmas Eve sushi, but on Christmas Day. That's OK.

More Lord of  the Rings.

MERRY CHRISTMAS!
