I could get used to this...

... well maybe I could live here for a few years!  I wake up to sunrise coming up over the distant horizon and realize that it would be easy for my family to come visit.  I look to the right and see no one.  We´re the only ones who decided to camp out all night for front row tickets to one of the most beautiful sunrises I´ve seen in a long time.  I look to the left, and see a cult???  I can´t believe it but there are about 6 or 7 people doing yoga or praying to the sun god as they sat facing the sun a few hundred feet down the beach. 




It is an early morning, but what better time than now to have your first swim of the day.  The remainder of the day is spent in and out of consciousness on my hammock, throwing the Frisbee, swimming, and just enjoying life. I can´t think of any better way to spend my day and so I remain in ultimate relaxation mode until just before dinner.  Dinner is taken laying down as is the norm here and one of the guys even eats at the table in a hammock the restaurant has so perfectly placed.  Life is perfect with our little family and everyone is really starting to get to know each other a bit better.  I´m absolutely shocked that the group has bonded as much as it has and wonder how normal groups like this were.  In the middle of all of these revelations, I come to the realization that I´m really tired and I crash.
