Road trip, snorkeling & p90x

This past weekend on Saturday we took a road trip to West End, it is as it says, the west end of the island (necessities for road trip pictured). Not much out there but some HUGE houses, and a nice resort with a marina. The marina was loaded with tons of really really nice boats. For a 45min drive, it kinda wasn't worth it, but we had a good time on the drive and seeing the boats. Ventured back to Port Lucaya and partied there for the 37th year of Independence of the Bahamas, kinda like the US 4th of July. I wore the appropriate colors of yellow, teal and black, so I would fit in a little here. Sunday we went on Tony's boat (Darin's shop partner), the boys went spear fishing as I tested out my captain skills and drove the boat beside them careful not to run them over. I did great!!! We went to the port, boys ate some fresh conch salad...me? I ate french fries and conch fritters, someday i'll be able to eat the foods of where I live, now isn't my timing. My favorite part of the day was after lunch we went back out and went snorkeling. I LOVE to snorkel, I wish I had an underwater camera on me because things were so so peaceful and pretty down there. I learned to be careful of the "fire coral" it's really pretty but don't touch it, and be careful when you swim by that your leg doesn't hit it. I know what a grouper fish looks like and a yellow tail. I'm not best at fish names and what they look like, but i'm learning. I guess I should know what i'm eating when I order it. To the left is a Conch shell. In the Bahamas, it's very popular; conch salad, grilled conch, fried conch, conch fritters, schorched conch and tons more ways....it's everywhere you go here. The picture on the left has a live conch in it, but don't worry we put him back and didn't take him home for dinner! :) Monday was a holiday, we seriously stayed inside all day, watched movies and tv....such bums!!

We've also started P90X as of last week. Going good so far, I don't like the cardio because you "punch the air", Darin got mad at me because I didn't try, but I didn't want to so I went out and ran a mile and came back to do the last part of it which isn't "punching air". That's cardio to me, running! I also FINALLY found swiffer pads to clean my floors, after 3 weeks and 5 stores later, they were $13 for 25 of them, don't know if that s good or not. I like grocery shopping here but you can only buy the necessities or else you'll easily spend $300 for nothing!! Milk is $3 for 1/2 gallon and $7 for a gallon, BUT, you can buy 2 of the 1/2 gallons for cheaper...go figure?? You realize nothing is the same price at any of the 4 grocery stores here, I found cream of chicken to make dumplings for .90cents at one store and then $1.80 at another, for the same thing!! I don't get it....anyways, we're off to Nassau in the morning and I'm staying with Emily and the kids while Darin goes on with Chad to Orlando. Getting stuff for the shop, wish I could go too. I'll be back in September so it's soon enough, and i'm counting down!
