A Few Lines from Paradise

Since we landed in St. Croix on Monday, the general routine has been something like this.

8:30: Wake up for light complimentary breakfast by the beach. Have senses soothed into consciousness by a view of crystal clear blue waters, fluffy clouds and the sound of the surf rolling in and out. Yes, this is really happening.

9:30-10:00ish: Go take a nap for like half an hour or so to digest breakfast or watch Judge Mathis.

11:00ish: Go snorkeling for the first time for several hours in water well over 12 feet deep, learn to float on back. Feel like a mermaid. Swim with the fishes. Chat and laugh with sweetheart and best friend the whole time.

2:00ish: Another half hour nap.

3:00ish: Call Michael the hotel cab driver from Antigua to take us to  Christiansted or the St. George Botanical Garden.

5:30ish: Come back to resort, have dinner on the beach.

6:30ish: Half hour nap

7:00ish: NIGHT SMIMMING IN THE OCEAN! Floating under a sky full of stars until tired.

10:00: Sneak into the heated pool for half an hour.

10:30ish: Sleep arrives...

I haven't really been focused on anything else or focused period. I've just been being. It's so easy to do that here. I don't feel rushed, or stressed, nor the need to hurry up to go someplace I can't get away from fast enough. Everywhere I am I want to be. I will start to process later and get back to you. The crickets sound so nice tonight. That's all I know right now.
