Day 15: Guadeloupe

Today, we went to Jaque Cousteau park. It is an underwater marine preserve. It was very cool. We saw 3 turtles, schools of angelfish, lots of brain corral, Sargent majors, trumpetfish, spotfin butterfly, blue tangs, Elkhorn corral, and maybe an octopus (not sure about that one).

After snorkling, Mom, Lindsay, and I went to the store. We got a bunch of French cheese, French wine, and other food we needed. While Mom and Lindsay were at the store, I walked down to the laundromat. I figured out how to pay and do the laundry by myself (first time at a laundromat, and everything was written in French, so it was a bit of a challenge).

When we got back to the boat, the sun was setting. Sunset is around 5:30 here. So we grilled sausages and finally celebrated Dad's birthday.

  1. You must be about at the halfway point of your trip! It is so good for you to be writing this blog, because it would be so hard to recount all of your adventures and mishaps when you return! We are thinking about you every day. Love, G&G
