Day at the Beach

I spent today at Ship Wrecks Beach with Jossie and Melissa getting a fabulous tan.
(See Jossie to the left.)

We went with the intention of eating lunch at the beach. Because our classes usually get out at 11am, we've been conditioned that 11am is lunch time, and therefore we must eat. We arrived at 11:30am starving!

Apparently 11am is not only our preconditioned midday feeding, but also the monkey and mongoose feeding time! We watched as the server walked with a large bag of scraps and trash from the previous day. The bushes started to shake like feeding time for the Velociraptors on Jurassic Park! Out came about 30 mongooses squealing and fighting with each other over scraps of fish and such. The monkeys were more stoic, but they were just as adamant about getting to the food first.

While we dined, a few people from school came and went. There were loads more locally living Europeans than I would have ever expected.
