The sun came back out today so we spent our Saturday at the beach! We keep thinking that one day we'll go down to the pristine sand and shores by our little house and have to actually share it with other humans, but it hasn't happened yet! We are so blessed:) We built a massive sand castle and gave it a wall of broken coral pieces to protect it. The whole thing only lasted a few hours before the tide started to come back in and swept it all away. We also found a guy digging for crabs and he taught us how to do it. I felt bad for the little things so I couldn't kill them, but they were fun to watch scuttle along the shoreline. We swam out to a little sandbar a few yards from shore and had a bunch of flying fish swim by and "fly" around us.
When we came home, we found our little monkey friend waiting on the fence by the front door. Kenric got him an apple and he snatched it up and ran to the roof to eat it.
We found a quaint little chapel with some of the most reverent and dedicated worshipers I have ever met. The building is one room, about the size of an average bedroom, and has two rows of chairs going down each side. The patrons of the church come and go in small waves around the clock and the building is never left vacant- all day and all night it is a continuous site of devotion to Christ. The feeling of being in a holy place permeated the building and the heart of the people who came and went.
