Cayo Levantado

9 am boat ride to La Isla de Cayo Levantado! We followed our¨friend¨and guide Raphael to board a rickety boat to the island. We spent the entire day snorkling, playing some more volleyball, and seeing the craziest fish. There were some that were bright, neon blue, others that looked like pieces of seaweed, and others that looked like they came straight out of finding nemo. Just gorgeous.

There was a little nook on the side of the rocks that had thousands of the most pristine shells in various shades of orange. I´m sad that I can´t bring more back home to give to people, but, it was quite the sight.

At night, we wanted to see the church that was in front of our hotel that looked like a barn, and happened to walk in when the service was starting. We were given introductions by the pastor, sang some gospel songs, and listened to a sermon on what appeared to be human rights and the Dominican constitution. I think I would like to go to more Spanish services when I get back to the states.
