October 22

         Today began with an insanity work out and our first American style breakfast since leaving the states. After metaphysical we had some free time so clearly it was bath time! Then I finished unpacking and we headed out to the beach at 12. The beach is about 2 miles away so we drove there. This beach was amazing. You walk along a wooden boardwalk past some shack style shops and palm tree umbrellas. We kept walking through the sand and straight through the water along a sandbar. We kept walking until we hit the island and walked through some sand dunes to our destination. If you are looking for a better idea of what I am describing, look up Elafonisi island/ beach. So far it is my favorite beach. The sand is white with pink along the shore and tons of little shells. Tori and I jumped in the water and went snorkeling right away. There were a few reefs so we saw some new fish. We saw a few needle fish, a puffer looking fish, a flounder, and various other fish. While I explored a rock area Tori even saw a jelly fish! After about 45 minutes of snorkeling we swam back to shore to lay out in the sun for an hour. We only have two hours a day at this beach, but it was a perfect two hours. Now I am back at the hotel working on a drawing.
