Elisa: Wonderful day, change of plans

We had a fantastic day today. Got up early, and with a bunch of other divers (6 total) and Harold (head of our hostel), headed out to go snorkeling/diving. We picked up some fresh fish, some mangoes, and some rice steamed in bamboo, and went to the beach. They went out, we went out, tanned on the beach, read our books on the gorgeous sand, deserted of people but surrounded with greenery and fallen coconuts. We grilled the fish on the beach and dipped it and the rice in spicy soy sauce with our fingers, gorging ourselves on mangoes for dessert. It was truly heaven. We drove home with Bob Marley playing and the sun setting. We were going to leave tonight, but Harold and the other guys convinced us to stay and so we are going to their place and cooking them a feast tonight to repay them in part for their incredible hospitality. Key lime pie, Quiche Lorraine, and Lemongrass Chicken wraps. They're making kinilaw, the Filipino cevich, and some Korean guys are making a Korean dish. Hope its good! We'll leave tomorrow instead.Must go cook!
