Beach Life is SO Hard!

Not even kidding you. Sitting on a beach, in 30+ degree weather, doing nothing day but swimming, napping, reading, and just sitting there. It may sound like paradise, but whe nyou've been g one from home for 4 months, just sitting there waiting till you can go home is killer. Believe it or not, Sara is having a harder time with it than I am, basically she can't read for as long as I can without getting bored.

So this is our routine, get up around 8:30 or so, read a bit in bed. Go have breakfast around 9:30 or 10am. After breakfast get our beach stuff together, and walk up to the minmarket on the way to the beach. Buy a couple of snacks, and 3 liters of water. Walk down the hill to the beach, pick out the chairs and umbrella we want for the day. Lather up in sun screen and then sit there reading or doing whatever until the heat gets to be too much. Then we go down to the water, swim around, play mini frisbee, try to convince Sara to dive under the water, which she won't. After 20-30 minutes we leave the water, go sit in our chairs, read, nap, or listen to music. This continues until 4pm when one of us is sick of the sun and the heat, and the doing nothing and we return to our hotel. At the hotel we shower, then read a bit, then around 6:30 or 7pm we go for dinner. After dinner we sometimes get ice cream for dessert, and go to bed tired from the sun around 10:30 or so. The next day we get up and repeat.

I know I know it sounds great, but both of us are bored of it. We should have known before we left, as we all know Sara's attention span is usually mesured in the time it takes electons to circle the nucleus... Enough of that thought trail... So we'll sit here and repeat for a couple of more days, or find some way to waste some more time somewhere else before we come home. But no other islands, we are too scared for that.

Basically we are waiting, which is such a hard thing to do, kinda like Sara is now, or like I was for the last 45 minutes while she chatted to her friends..... (Sara: or my mom... and also you aren't hungry!!!) Yes, I am hungry, just trying to use up the time we paid for. Alright alright, time is up.

See you all soon,

Tyson and Sara
