Our first full day in Isla started with a stroll on the beach. We set up right in front of our hotel and swam out to a sand bar. The water was an incredibly clear and blue.
After lunch at Cafe Rolandi (which was really great at the time, but I suspect the source of my illness the next day), we went to the first two dives of our advanced certification. The dives were only okay. We did not see much. We were supposed to do a navigation dive and a night dive, but they both ended up being night dives. One just happened to be with a compass. We passed the navigation dive even though we were completely lost. By the time we set up, it was too dark to see the compass. Our instructor chose to look the other way. The night dive was better because they gave us flashlights. We still did not see much marine life. The phospholuminesent phytoplankton was really cool though. The water lit up like a night sky every time you waved your hand.
It was late when we got back to Isla. We got a quick and tasty bite to eat at a place with meat on a spit.
Rod had been eyeing the meat spit ever since we arrived in Isla.

I've been watching for you to post on Isla- we love the meat on a spit place.... seriously, we ate there a lot. Can't wait to hear about the rest of Isla.
