Exumas by Lucy

Hi everyone! This is Lucy. I am going to do a blog post because we are in the Exuma’s! It is very pretty here in the land and sea park. There are lots of white sand beaches and turquoise water. School is good because I finish at 10 a.m.  An average day looks like this…….

So far the Bahamas has been super great! Eleuthera had  great and super nice community. The land and sea park had fantastic outdoors and water. We also met really nice people there. Staniel Cay was good. We went to Thunder Grado and saw the pigs. We also went to the church there where they welcomed us with open arms. It was a really neat experience and showed in more detail part of their great culture. Now we are in Black Point settlement, which has grocery stores, laundry, and you know basic town things. There are lots of jelly fish here. Some are moon jellies and I am not so sure if any of them sting, saying that, I am not so sure I want to check!          

Snorkeling…..

The sea is below the sun up high 

The fish in the water 

Sea turtles are waving good bye 

   The water is clear

    As blue as can be

     Now it seems nothing in the world could be so pretty.

Snorkeling was great in caves and more, there were fish galore. You would get to the caves and it would be all dark then you would look past it to the fish and see the light blue glow of the ocean. It looked like it came out of  a Disney movie.  The cave inside seemed very dark with light jutting out of the sides and even if it felt dark you just swam over to a little light and be able to swim through it. It took awhile for your eyes to adjust once you were back out in the light. But the darkness of the cave with thousands of fish in it was almost as beautiful as when you made it out to the light.

 

Talking about it being dark, at night the stars are so so so so so beautiful. Some nights you can see the whole milky-way! There are so much some nights you can barely make out the constellations because all of the stars are overlapping and together.

We have met so many nice people and tried lots of new things. It is teaching me lots of things and I know I will continue to learn more, 

We have been having a great time and we will continue to have more fun! Until next post….

The one and only
