We got a Car

We got a car! Yay! We are no longer stuck at the Marriot all day, all the time. We can come and go as we please.

We explored the island with no map yesterday and ended up at an old lighthouse that was one of the highest points on the island.

There are geckos everywhere, some quite large (like larger than my calf).

There were signs all over the place for this Calibrasis place so we went and it was like a deserted rock garden. There wasn't a person in sight. We climbed every rockpile in site, despite the ominous warnings.

We couldn't scuba dive yesterday because of visibility. We were scheduled to dive this morning at 8:30 (and prepaid for a package already with 'Red Sail Sports') only to receive a call last night that our dive had been rescheduled to 2 p.m. because they had overbooked the 8:30 dive with cruise ship people. Frustrating but the fish will be the same this afternoon as they would have been this morning and the visability shouldn't change much between morning and evening. We're diving the easy 'West' side of the island this afternoon - the Blue Reef and Pedernalis. Pedernalis is a super easy wreck dive that has fairly poor reviews but it will be good to get Chris back up to scuba diving speed since he has not dove in over a year.

And in other typical trip news, I just received an email from the Marriot stating they are thrilled to be CANCELLING our reservation to stay Wednesday through Saturday so we need to go deal with that now. And after we fix that, it's off to explore the island this morning before our dive.
