Snorkeling by Landon

Feb. 24, 2012

We're in Costa Rica still and today we went snorkeling in a rocky pool, which has lots of fish and other animals in it.  Tianna discovered a dead lobster in the water and thought it was alive so she quickly swam away from it.  There were lot's of pretty colored fish, some as thin as paper and one big blue fish with black dots on it.  Then, when the tide came to close in, we got out to have lunch.  After lunch, I decided to go looking for cocoa nuts.  I found a big tree with plenty of cocoa nuts, but no matter what stick I used, it was too short.  So, I started looking on the ground for a cocoa nut that was ripe, and didn’t have any holes, meaning no bugs have got in.  After a few minuets of scavenging, I found two big cocoa nuts that I shook close to my ear to make sure all the water was still in it.  Once home at Gumbo Limbo, I borrowed a big machete from the hotel owner, Michele, and cut a hole in the cocoa nut, and poring the water into a big glass that Tianna, Luis and I shared.

That’s all for today!!!
