Saturday
this morning I was so tiered from going out the night before even thought I called it an early night. I got all my stuff ready and headed back to the resort and down to the dive shop. Only two of the people where their and we had a group of eight going out. Because I don't dive I had to wait for about an hour and a half on the beach so the group could do the first dive. They were going to do a ship wreck that we have. Is and interesting ship I guess when it sank it ended up flat on the bottom so you can go inside is and its still stable. Any ways When they got back we all got on the boat and headed north up the island. I put my fins, and goggles on and hoped in the water, we had four snorkelers. We had a guided tour. The sculptors are placed at the bottom about 20ft down but you can still see them quite well from the top of the water. They where about ten different areas that had sculptors. They had a man at a desk, mermaid, masks, and a group of people laying down that they called the nude beach, some say that it represents all of the people that have passed away. It was a bit of a morbid place to see. All of the sculptors are made of cement and steal. I didn't know this but I guess they replace them once in a while because the salt water rubs them down so much. It was a fun day I didn't get to sun burned, but I did. I sat in the shade, brought an umbrella, put sunscreen on and even put some on my butt just to be safe and I still managed to get a little more sun than I wanted. After the dive we all went out to a local spot and had pizza Some people went back to the beach but I went home I was tiered. When I got home I didn't do a lot, I ate dinner and one of the other Peace Corps who lives on a sub island still considered Grenada was staying the night so we hung out and talked for a bit, that was nice.
