Kayaking in the Mangrove Lagoon

Hey there folks...

So Lando and I had Sunday and Monday off... it's so wonderful having two days off in a row! Well Sunday after church we headed out to do some kayaking in the Mangrove Lagoon. One of the companies we are agents for is called VI Eco tours and they do Kayak and snorkel tours. So we took out one of their two-person sit-on-top kayaks and headed out for our afternoon adventure.

The Mangrove Lagoon is so cool... it's so still and peaceful that you feel as if you are on a lake as opposed to the ocean. We'd often just stop and chill... as you can see Lando doing... he likes that picture cuz if you look in his sunglasses you can see me taking the picture... i don't know if it will come out on the internet, but see if you can see it.

I had gone out on the Cas Cay (pronounced "key") tour in october when we first got here and was so excited to show Lando the "Blow Hole." It's the hole in a rock formation that when the waves crash into it, the water spews out like the blow hole on a whale... pretty cool. Cas Cay is an island formed by the Mangrove trees. Mangroves are the only trees that can grow right in salt water. It's pretty cool to look down in the water and see all the roots.

The only bummer of the day was the awful sunburns we got... we remembered the sunscreen on our faces cuz we use it everyday... we just forgot the rest of our body... Lando isn't too bad cuz he's at the beach all the time, but my feet, stomach and shoulders don't see the sun much and are quite toasted... oops! I'll be puttin up another post with more pictures from this adventure... it was just too good a day to see only 4!
