Well I have been here two months now.... I had a call to sub yesterday but had made plans to go to Marjan Beach with some ladies from the compound. We had a very relaxing day at the beach and pretty much had it all to ourselves. That was nice. I went with 4 other ladies and two of the ladies brought their little ones. We each fixed up some grub and shared it on the beach. We had to take two different cars with drivers from the compound. The driver of our car spoke excellent English and shared pictures of his snorkeling and diving exploits... he spear fishes when he goes out and he showed us some of the fish he had gotten.... one picture was of a barracuda.... he told us that he would rather see a shark while out than a barracuda... the barracudas are a lot more dangerous, especially when he is fishing.... the barracudas are attracted to the fish he catches  and thus very aggressive and dangerous..... needless to say while at the beach, I went out snorkeling and of course I am convinced I saw a barracuda while I was out on the other side  of the island by myself in deep water.... freaky.... I told no one else at the time.... when I got back to the beach as I had no proof of what I saw and even to me it  sounded like a fish story......I Googled Barracuda fish when I got home and am now convinced that was what I encountered..... wish I had an underwater camera..... I did not even take my regular camera with me as I had other things I needed to keep track of and thought I had already taken pictures at Marjan Beech.... oh well.
I will be teaching second grade today...it is Wednesday and our Friday. Tim and I went to Kaust again this past week for ball hockey.... it is a nice way to break up the week and lots of fun. :) Well that is all for now.
