Pura Vida!

It didn't rain today but we had an earthquake. A small one (nobody knows how big it was cause they do not have TV) right as we were going to sleep that woke us up cause the room and windows were shaking. First one for both of us. I thought the wind was blowing extremely hard like a hurricane but the wind was calm as the morning day. It seemed like it lasted 5 min but it was probably 1 min.

Alicia decided to get certified in scuba diving and she did. PADI certified in scuba diving. Alicia was a bit scared at the site where we first went into the ocean cause the conditions were real bad, visibility about 1 foot and real rough waves. I would have to say that the conditions were extreme. Visibility was 2 feet and the waters were real rough at the second site we tried. Worst I have ever seen. But she did really good but the other student kept getting lost cause of the visibility. The instructor was excellent. I was also in the water plus a Dive Master and another diver. The third and fourth dives the next day were a bit better. Visibility was about 15 feet and rough waves which is poor. We got to see a lot of fish, lobsters, rays, octopus, star fish, coral, and other things.

Well we got shoaked again today cause of the rains. We always get caught in the rain. We did bring ponchos but it doesn't help.

Another day in paradise, Pura Vida, as they say here,

These are the nicest people,
Till next time, Take Care, Jorge
