My Day Off

The whole week is a vacation so its odd to be calling this my day off but it is! Everyday that we dive we have to get up at 7:15 to be on the boat by 8:15. I decided not to dive today in lieu of sleeping, a leisurely breakfast, and some time by the water instead of under the water. Side note: we are out of orange juice so I am currently sipping on some orange fanta as my "juice" with breakfast. Its about the equivalent of drinking tang with carbonation.

I don't have much to contribute to the blog this morning that hasn't already been mentioned so I'll just give you a few points of interest:
-Dad doesn't speak spanish, though he is often mistaken for a local. It does, however, come naturally to him to pronounce english words with a spanish accent when he's conversing with our dive captain, dive master, waiters, etc. Its hard to explain without you actually being able to hear it. Think "cheeps and sall-suh" instead of "chips and salsa." You get the idea.
-Mom purchased a 1000 piece puzzle for us to try and finish before we leave. We currently have 10 pieces put together. It's not looking good.
-The only movie showing in english (with spanish subtitles) at the cinepolis across the street is "No Te Metas Con Zohan." We might break down and go see it one night after dinner.

I'm heading outside to enjoy the sunshine for the rest of the day!
