We had a really awesome weekend regardless of the fact that Lance openly admits he's not the "super romantic type". I've learned to accept and love that about him and he's learned to pick up on hints ;-)
Saturday night we went kayaking (on a group tour) through a narrow dark channel (it was more than a mile kayak trip). Throughout the channel were twists and turns lined with huge trees. The branches of the trees created a canopy above us and many of the roots of the trees were above ground winding around each other. It was a spectacular site! We chose not to bring out camera for fear of dropping it in the water but so much of me wishes that I had.
On the other side of the channel was the most beautiful bay. The view was spectacular. The sky was perfectly clear and you could see so many stars and constellations. The bay was lined with trees as well and was absolutely gorgeous. But, what made the bay SO amazing was the WATER. When you put your hand in the water GLOWED! The water was filled with the same enzymes that make a lightening bug glow so when you move it... it literally glowed. It was so cool to pour the water down your arm and watch the glowing drops drip down.
The tour guide told us that there are only 5 bio-luminescent bays in the world. 3 are in Puerto Rico. One of the bays in Puerto Rico was destroyed from pollution. There is one "biobay" in Jamaica and that one, too, was destroyed from pollution. The only other biobay is in the Bahamas. It just made it all that much more spectacular to know that we were literally sitting in one of the natural wonders of the world.
Sunday we slept in, watched movies, did some grocery shopping, read our "bradley birthing" book ... ya know normal stuff... and then after dinner we went for a walk on the beach and talked about highlights from last year and goals for this year. :-) The little park by our apartment had a music festival so we hung out and listened to music and pretended that the festival was in honor of our anniversary ;-) haha.
