Isla Tortuga!

We had to be at school at 5:45 this morning to catch a bus to La Isla Tortuga, but it was worth the lack of sleep. We took a boat there (kind of an older not so classy vessel that reminded me of the one we took in Mexico, maybe even worse) and the ride was an hour and a half. But we had music on board, some free snacks, and dancing. And the island was beautifully and practically empty except for our group when we arrived. I really feel like I am in a tropical country now. I just can't believe that I actually have to go to class tomorrow.
As soon as we got there we jumped in the water. Then a few of us swam over to another island to look in caves and watch the crabs. It was actually quite the long swim, even if it may not look like it, so it's a good thing we have our muscles.
Table linens? Check. White wine? Check. Live music? Check. It was a pretty nice lunch on the beach. The banana boat was one of the many optional activities and totally worth it. We flipped off a few times (and a few times on purpose) and our boat driver thought us girls were crazy. It was a blast!
Needless to say this wave took us by surprise as Danny and Lupe and I were trying to make a cool pose in the water. Luckily the water is warm.
I think I found the Latin Lover! His name is Esteban...and he was our tour guide. I may need to hang on to the shirt for a while because I think I am still looking...
