Up at 6 a.m. to watch the sunrise and walk the beach. We're in a huge lagoon area behind the Gulf so nice and sheltered. During the big storm they had a few days ago, the fishermen couldn't go out and the town's water supply was cut off. I love being on the beach and the salt water smells so good. Saw a father and son casting their nets for minnows which they'll use for bait later. This is a small fishing village and 7 of us hired moped taxis (a step up, previous villages had bicycle taxis) and toured the town, a clothing store, the fishing docks for 2 hours. There are new cement row houses being put up by the government to get the poorer people out of the tin and mud shacks. Many Pelicans here. These big birds have a history of 30 million years and nearly went extinct before DDT was banned in the 70's.
Ended our day with a hamburger BBQ put on by the Fantasy staff and bonfire on the beach. We are so lucky - everyone in the group is great and a lot of fun.
