It is 6am, and we are sitting on the balcony watching the sky change colors as the sun rises. There is a delicious breeze that rustles through the straw of the thatched roof, which combined with the gentle lapping of waves and the piping of birds, creates an early morning symphony. It is a wonderful start to the day.

After breakfast I went snorkeling at the reef in front of MIR. They feed a school of Jack Fish here each day at 8:45am. I am snorkeling along the rim of the reef when the first of these big fish (approximately 2’) swims passed me, followed closely by another, and another, and another; all heading for the feeding area. They swim around me close enough to touch. I can only describe it as awesome. Bob, Mari and the kids join me just before the feeding starts. Once the feeding starts I back away a little so as not to be in the middle of the frenzy—they rush to get to the fish heads and pieces first, sometimes jumping slightly out of the water.

Yesterday when Zoe swam with the Jacks, she got out of the water with this incredible smile on her face and was literally speechless for a few minutes, only nodding her head and grinning ear-to-ear when asked if she liked it. Bob's face had the same expression when he got out of the water this morning.

Bob, Mari and the kids are leaving today—Mr. Man and I have extended our stay until Wednesday afternoon—so we just enjoy hanging out on the beach with them.
