Had a fun weekend a couple weeks ago - haha!  Sorry it's posted so late. Lecture ended early so I decided to post some stuff before the next one starts.
Most Saturdays I go to the market to get fresh fruits and veggies. The people here are pretty shy about getting their pictures taken but I got a few of them to agree. They're such interesting people! Most of them are extremely nice. A lot of the produce is new to me so I always ask how to prepare it. They love sharing their recipes.

After going to the market I went on a Ross sponsored whale watching trip. That was fun! A whole bunch of the branch members went so we had a grand old time. The school rented this huge catamaran which picked us up at a dock between the school and town.
The boat was a little late picking us up so I started taking pictures of random things. Haha!

It's crazy what humidity and salt water does to stuff!

There was this old  fishing boat pushed up on shore by the dock. I think it was pushed on shore after the really bad hurricane that blew through here like 30 years ago. I took a bunch of shots of it but I don't feel like I got "the one" - ya know?! I'll have to go back later. It would also be fun to paint! Maybe someday...

That's our catamaran coming to pick us up in the background there

 

Being out on the water felt SO good! A few people were worried about getting sea sick but it was really calm. LOVE the Caribbean Sea for that reason. While the boat was moving there was a breeze that actually felt GREAT! We didn't see any whales but we had a great time.

It was SO relaxing sitting out on those cargo nets!

Still can't believe I live somewhere this beautiful!

There are little villages like this all up and down the coast 

All in all it was a great day! Too bad we didn't see any whales. Maybe next time...
