LIFES A BEACH!

Today was the best beach experience ever! We tried out a new beach in Phillipsburg today.... it was called Divi Little Bay! So fun! They had the BEST snorkeling so far on the Island! We rented some snorkel fins and went out about 500 yards from the shore into these rock beds and it was amazing! I wish I had an underwater camera... today for the first time I saw an EEL!!! I was so scared bc he was about 4 ft long and I didnt know if he was dangerous?! I just swam as fast as i could AWAY from him! Also, Eli was feeling a little adventurous... so he decided to turn over some rocks in the rock beds and we found the weirdest thing under one of the rocks.... it was sort of like a starfish, but it resembled a spider by the way it crawled across the rocks? It had spiny things on it and it was bright red!! Anybody know what the heck that was?? We didnt touch it, just watched it find a new home in the rocks! I also got to see a tiny baby OCTOPUS... ("I shall call him squishy and he shall be mine, my squishy" ~DORIE) the cutest thing i ever saw!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! At this particular snorkel spot there were sunken boats and things under the water, so we got to see some cute schools of fish and such (and swim with them).... it was such a great day! After we snorkeled i got to swim in this private beach swimming pool that was made of rocks in the ocean... i have pictures of it.. i have them posted on my myspace page www.myspace.com/amykon When you come to visit us in Sint Maarten... this will be our first stop for your vacation!!! Miss everyone!
