This weekend has been one of the best times we have had in Dominica so far. Normally our weekends just consist of Christopher studying and well of course going to Church, but this weekend was a little different. On Saturday Christopher studied in the morning and then at about noon we went to the beach with Ashley, Andrea, and Kyle. We had so much fun. We cooked hamburgers on the beach and just had a really fun day together. Christopher and I spend a lot of time together here but normally it is while Chris is studying, so when we actually get to go out and do something it is really fun. We went snorkeling, had a delicious lunch, and Christopher broke open a coconut for us to drink (which if you have ever tried to do that it, it is not easy unless you have tools, and well we didn't have anything.). We just had a lot of fun laying out on the beach and enjoying the wonderful weather together. Here are some of the pictures from the day.
Christopher and me at PBH (Portsmouth Beach Hotel) waiting for everyone else to get there.
This is the beginning of Christopher breaking open the coconut.
He made it to the inside, now he has to break open the harder shell in the middle to get to the milk inside.
I think this is the first time in Dominica that we have actually felt like we were on vacation instead of feeling like we are just in a foreign land. I mean take a look at this video of my walk to church on Sunday morning. I don't think that many of you back at home get to walk to church with goats running down the middle of the road. These are the things down here that give us a little laugh and spark the thought "I can't believe I live here". Haha!

Katy, when I was a little girl, we ate fresh coconuts and drank the milk from them all the time......in Enid, OK!!! We would poke the "eyes" of the coconut, which is much softer than the shell, and drink from there. The "meat" of it is yummy!! Thanks for the trip down memory lane for me!!
