First up, how the embryos are doing!
Same report as yesterday, 5 embryos are beautiful and growing great, 3 are doing okay! We won't get a report tomorrow on Sunday, they will just keep them in the incubator to keep growing! Then we go in on Monday for the transfer to put one back in! Keep growing little ones, keep growing!
Today was boat day! When Simon and Ruth picked us up from the airport on Monday they asked if the liked boats and we said yes! The forcast and waves were great today, so we decided to go for a boat ride on their boat!
We slept in, ate breakfast and then headed up to the main house to meet them. Went to the boat yard and got on the boat, got all the supplies and got the puppy (ini) on as well. The boat people towed us across the road and put the boat in and off we went.
We went over to an uninhabited island across the way and there is a cove over there with a beach and really nice water. When we got over there, we unloaded and tried out their "easy breathe" masks for snorkling. Those things are epic! You can see a wider view of the water and you can breathe out your nose and mouth! They rock. We saw seaweed, coral, sponges, little fish and sea urchins! We just swam round and round and then came back in for a bit.
Simon cooked his burgers and they were delicous! Ini was having the time of his life. He would go out, swim and then come back to the sand and practically burry himself in it! Then repeat. Beg for food, chew on his bone, swim, cover in sand, swim, cover in sand, eat a burger, chew on bone, etc. He had a fabulous day! We hung out on the beach for a while and introduced Ruth to Nutter Butters! :) Went back out with the easy breathes and looked around some more. It was a relaxing, fantastic day!
We loaded back up and tried to get in some deeper water to use the easy breathes to try and see bigger fish, but the sea had gotten a bit more rough by the end of the day. We got out anyways and we ended up seeing two sunken boats! They were small, but it was fun to be able to see how the organisms just take over as their new home! Then we packed up and headed home.
We really were proud of our selves with the amount of sunscreen that we used today - but I guess it wasn't enough for me. I was already burnt from our acropolis trip, but now my face, neck, and shoulders are fried. I didn't add to the area of the sunburn, it just feels more intense. I guess a night of aloe vera and standing in front of the air conditioner is in order for me. Brian isn't bad, just a few splotches here and there.
It was a really fun day and we are beyond grateful for Ruth and Simon's hospitality! They are more and more amazing every day!
