circle the island.
The island is about 8 miles around and we took a leisurely ride, stopping at various points for some hiking and playing in the water.
The weather was gorgeous, the water was warm and all of us were wishing that we had worn our swimsuits so we could have taken advantage of it. After turning our rental bikes back in we went and grabbed some grub at a local burger joint. The place was pretty dead since it was about 3 in the afternoon and we made friends with the guys behind the counter who then gave us lots of extra food. We had a great time eating and fellowshipping together. It is amazing how carefree life seems when you aren't on a strict schedule.
The rest of our day was spent exploring all the tourist shops that line main street and a couple of the side streets. I included a couple pictures of some of our finds...
Yes, that's right...a toilet. We found this sitting by a tree outside somone's house. It was pretty funny.
We also found this great Fun House mirror at a store called "Cattywampus." This is Jacob checking himself out in it.
This is just an example of some of the crazy hats we found at some of the souvenier stores.
All in all, it was a great and relaxing day. We all felt refreshed and rejuvenated by the time away. Thanks Lord for that and for the beauty of your creation and your people.

"And now to Him who is able to do IMMEASURABLY MORE than all we ask or imagine, according to His power that is at work within us, to Him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus, throughout all generations forever and ever. Amen."
Ephesians 3:20-21
