My Little Piece of Heaven


*Sigh* Today was most definitely the most relaxing day I've had here so far. Ever since landing on the island there has been something to do or somewhere to go. Ana and I slept in late and then both did our own thing for a few hours. Ana went to the cliffs we had found last week to do some painting and later explored Long Bight a little more in depth. I decided to make the trek up to Holiday beach. I took my time getting there and took pictures of everything along the way. I was the only person on that beach for miles. It was like having my own little piece of heaven. I sat there for a while, overwhelmed by the fact that I am here. I don't think it will really sink in until I'm already on my way back home. I sat there on the beach in disbelief. I am so fortunate to have this opportunity. I did a little more exploring and hunting for seashells before I sat myself down on the rocks to read. It was hard to tear myself away from the beach. Gorgeous.


When I got back to the house, Ana and I walked around town to try and find the kids we have scheduled for lessons this week, but no one seemed to be outside. A little while later, we went down to Long Bight to see if our 4 o'clock adult lesson was coming... but she didn't show. So, the couple that lives on the hill invited us to go to Surfer's beach with them. They are a nice couple from Georgia that spend a few months at a time down here in Eleuthera. They told us where to get the best homemade breads and which restaurants to go to when we have the chance.

Now, Ana and I are going to try and get a hold of our swimmers to start another exciting week of lessons on the Road to Paradise.
