Last day here..... : (

Today is our last day... tomorrow we leave at 9am with a long set of connections ahead! Should be in Yooperland Sunday morning.
Yesterday was a fun day...! We boarded the tour boat about 7:45am & left the harbor around 9am for a 90 minute ride for the Isla Baru excursion. It was quite entertaining w/ an emcee directing all the fun. He had people come onto the "dance floor" to learn Merengue ... We then played a game where the dancers had to switch partners when he called out "RUM"! One that doesn't make it to a partner is eliminated. I made through about 1/2 of it, then sat down to rest. An hour of dancing is great excerise in the morning. We then came to the beach around 10:30am where we stayed & played in the water & relaxed/read under the palm until 3pm . I mingled a bit with people from NY & CA on vaca too....We had waited to go snorkeling until afternoon & the wind had picked up (like it does in the p.m. every day) so the snorkeling was kind of murky because the sand was being stirred up in the waves....No fish : ( It was well worth the cost though with BBQ snacks, fresh fruit, fish chowder, drinks all included. Last night we stayed in while Chris picked up pizza & beer. Marie is getting ready to go into school again for a few hours & I will venture into town . Later.....
