On our way to the beach we saw our first gecko. I pointed it out to Esme and she was able to see it before it skittered away. About 3 minutes later we saw an egret. Someone who was standing there said that it was really friendly and you could hand feed it. Esme had a little bit of a mini vanilla wafer that she wanted to give it but she was too scared to get too close to him so she just dropped it in front of him. You can see it in the picture on the left right in front of his feet. Oddly, he wasn't interested in it at all. He kept eyeing something in the shrubs. Wouldn't you know it, he suddenly jabbed his head into the shrubs and came out with a gecko in his mouth that he promptly ate. Esme watched the whole thing! So I guess you could say she saw two geckos, sort of...
This year I didn't do any snorkeling. We just rented a couple of cabanas and hung out at the beach. It was so nice. Dad got a little antsy after awhile, but I could have stayed there forever! Esme and Mom had a great time too!
Esme spent more time in the sand than she did in the water. Fine with me, it's safer right?

After seeing a picture of this, how can you not agree that this is paradise? Beautiful.
