I set my alarm for 9:30 because I didn’t want to sleep the day away if it was sunny. I woke up at 8:30 and told Rachael to come down to the beach and sleep. Neither of us did fall asleep but we were out in the sun until 2pm. It was pretty hot so we bought ourselves some mighty delicious ice cream at the corner store.
We both got pretty toasted. She looks really red, and I can feel it, even though I don’t look it.
After the beach we showered and went into town. It was a big ordeal because I didn’t want to ride the bike with her driving because I don’t like the bike to begin with, and she doesn’t have much practice on it. But after a bit of an argument we were both off to town—the long way, on the bike. It was going pretty well and I was actually kind of enjoying it when it started to downpour. We stopped along the edge of the road in a huge mud puddle. Our shoes came off and she couldn’t get the bike to completely stop so it kind of fishtailed and kicked mud out all over me and my clean white camisole. We went over to a store across the street where about 10 other bikers were hiding out, and waited for the storm to clear. After about 20 minutes or so we got back on the bike and eventually got to sun.
Turns out it never rained on the other side of the island (amazing since its only 10 miles across!) good thing we decided to take the scenic route huh?
I pulled money out in town, and she tried to get the money her mom had wired her, but they sent it to the wrong place. We bought some groceries and then went back to the hostel. We made dinner with Craig (veggie pasta again) and then worked on the project. Diving tomorrow morning early- guess that means I ought to go to sleep.
