Sunday
Today actually (Feb 7th) we went snorkeling on the Great Barrier Reef. Last week there were major rains here so we thought we were lucky because the weather is beautiful. It turns out the ocean is still churned up so much that we couldn't see one piece of coral or one fish. It was pretty disappointing but it was still a wonderfully relaxing day. Better than the snow and ice. We also saw some pretty aggressive birds. As I was sitting and eating my shrimp lunch and talking a bird grabbed the shrimp right out of my hand. Another bird grabbed a french fry out of a young Chinese woman's hand and she really freaked out.
Sarah would have loved it. There's a resort on this island ( were on green island) and a pool for hotel guests only. Of course I snuck in and had a wonderfully relaxing swim. So today wasn't a total loss.
