Well, unfortunately, Nicole sat here typing away for a long while, but her post seems to have disappeared. All I could find was this title. I am doing laundry, and we are all exhausted from another long day. She has already went to bed as it is almost 11:30 pm here. She'll have to try and recreate it tomorrow.
Quick recap - we traveled to Vieques on a cargo ferry with the van on Thursday morning at 5am. We had to get up at 2:30 am for the drive. We each popped some motion sickness medicine and were so tired that everyone fell asleep on the plastic benches going over. It's a good thing they don't remember much of the trip, since we found out the waves were 9-11 feet high, and we felt queasy during it. We grabbed some breakfast at a bakery and finally arrived at the WIVV radio station. The other men were sleeping there, so we were busy cleaning the facilities and laundering sheets and towels.
Just came home tonight on a passenger ferry with a much smoother ride. During our trip, we did facility maintenance on the island, and then visited the most beautiful beaches in the world. Most require an extremely bumpy van ride to get to them, but the view is always worth it. Mark taught Nicole and Morgan how to snorkel, and they loved it. Friday night, we took a tour group to the Bioluminescent Bay to swim where the water glows when you disturb it due to a micro-organism living there. It's just too unusual to describe, and photos never turn out. The fish leave streaks as they dart through the water to avoid the boat. It's just another one of God's unique creations, and we were excited to share it with the girls.
Lauren's cough is coming back, and she probably has sea water in her ears and lungs and might need a trip to the doctor when we return. Otherwise, God has answered our prayers to stay healthy this trip. We are so thankful for the protection He has provided every day, and we can't believe the trip is coming to an end so soon. Thanks for coming along on this journey with us!
Time to check the laundry...
