So today we all finally got the whole day to take advantage of Roatan! There was a crew of folks who took off to Fantasy Island Resort for a whole day of scuba diving! They got 3 1-hour dives in! I was extremely impressed and inspired to one day get licensed. For today, scuba I did not. The ones who did scuba reported some eels and a type of ray and got to observe the coral reef up close.
The rest of the crew hit up a spot themed after Pirates of the Caribbean for an awesome morning of canopy hoping via zip line! 8 of them! The first one was probably as long or longer than 3 football fields. And the rest got progressively shorter, but not any less fun. Once you get over the shock of the height and realize that the harness and galvanized steel cables will probably not drop you 300 feet down to your death, it becomes a rather pleasing experience! It was a great release and an awesome cap for the week.
After spending the morning blasting through the forest canopy of Roatan, we went to Fantasy Island Resort. My goal was to simply sit on the beach and read. Feeling a bit under the weather, I decided not to snorkel again. Instead I curled up with my copy of The Shack and blew through a big chunk of it. Joining us on the beach were two iguanas, two watusi, a monkey (that had a BIG crush on Lauryn Wild), and a peacock. I seriously have no clue where this zoo came from! The monkey stole a granola bar, unwrapped it and ate it. It also tried to take our soda, but we'd already drained the cans. Nevertheless it tried hard to open the cans and demonstrated it's skills, showing that it at least knew that a can of soda had to be opened in order for him to enjoy it. The monkey definitely stole the show.
Tomorrow we are taking over the church service as special guests. VBS concludes with children's Sabbath School and Pastor Saul is preaching! Will be an awesome Sabbath and a perfect book end to a memorable week.
