Brittian and Back Part II

So after Virgin Gorda, We hopped on our boat, the Bad Kitty, to our lunch spot. We ate looking out onto the water, eating some pretty delicious food. Then was our nap time. We relaxed on some comfy beach chairs until the horn from our boat sounded and it was time to get back on the water!

Our next stop was a snorkel spot! The three of us had a blast tooling around seeing cool stuff. We were the last ones back onto the boat. Here are some pictures Amber took:



Then off to Jost Van Dyke, BVI. There we walked along the beach, enjoyed the sun and hung out at the famous Soggy Dollar bar. This beach was one in which you pull up by boat and swim to land. It was pretty fun except after drying off and warming up, it was hard to get back into the cool water.

After the beach it was the sad boat ride back to the USVI. I have my first stamp on my new passport though (why doesn't Canada stamp??)!!

So we get back to St. Thomas and are walking back to Amber's dingy to head back over to my house. First of all, we get to the dingy dock and can't find Amber's dingy right away... Then seconds later, I find the rope and pull the dingy out from under the dock. Slowly, we start loading up all our things into the dingy, First Amber jumps in and then Dana jumps in; the two of them have their feet in the boat and are holding onto the dock with both hands. Then, in slow motion, the dingy starts moving under the dock again. The dingy is deflated so the two of them can't sit on the dingy and pull it back out again. Soon, both of them have their arms extended and are hanging with their feet in the boat. Dana says to Amber "Dont fall in! Dont fall in!!" and Im on the dock laughing so hard that I can't help at all. The dingy slowly keeps moving under the dock and Amber ducks under and grabs a pole to try to push them back out and she yells out to me "Meg, pull us out!" At that point, I pull myself together enough to grab the rope and save the day!

Dear Old Friend

Dear old friend, I think about you a lot. As I go about my day I think about how something might make you laugh or say aloud an inside joke that no one understands. I smile as I remember a fond memory. But then I go about my day. At night is when I think about trying to reach out to you again. About what I should have said or what I should say to try to understand why we are no longer close. I come up with scripts in my head about a letter I should write you or a voice mail I should leave, so you know how much I miss you. Sometimes I get angry. Why did this friendship not last forever like I was sure it would? What did I ever do to be treated this way? How could you just leave me alone? Do you even care how I am? I ask myself these questions over and over. I get mad. Then I think. I think that you must not have done this to hurt me; sometimes people just drift apart. That you probably think about me sometimes too. That perhaps, sometimes you smile at an old memory we share. Gut...

Runners High

At 12:30pm, I stepped outside for the first time all day. I hadn't really even left my room until I realized that if I didnt go outside, I probably would bum it all afternoon. I put my running shoes on and bounced outside. I started walking and after I got myself settled, I started to run. After being cooped up, those first few steps of an outdoor run is so magical. The feeling of freedom, fresh air and adrenaline is fantastic. I always have a mad smile and excitement for being able to move so fast. After my first few minutes of running, thats when the exhaustion sets in. What keeps me going longer, is adventure. Do I like running? Not really. Do I enjoy exploring? Obviously. I decided to check out a new part of the power line trail that I have not seen before and ran up the hills, or on straight path, and walked down hills. I went to the beginning of the trail and back again, smiling at the other people who were also out for their afternoon walk/bike. The sun came out and it...

Guatemala: Bathroom

11/7/2015 11:56 am The bathroom views are amazing! I took a poo yesterday looking out at the lake and volcanoes in the distance. Absolutely stunning. I dont mind taking my time in the bathroom with views like that! 11/8/2015 3:36pm We had a day of exploration in San Marcos today. First the group of girls went to hang out by the lake, Lago Atitlan. It was very rocky, like a cliff-side almost. Not like a beach at all. But we climbed down the rocks to check out the water and it was cool, but not cold like lake Michigan. I put my feet in the water and soaked in the morning sun.  Its SO fun to chat with all the ladies here. I feel like Im a part of something and they all have such interesting things to say. I want to know all about them! 9:45pm This morning’s yoga was taught by one of the girls in my group, K. I love taking classes by people I know because it brings a whole new level to the experience. She came around and did excellent adjustments and it was so calmi...
