Short time for reflection

I burned my feet today. Really. Seriously. Burnt feet from the Bahamas sun. Freaking crazy.
I slathered on half a tube of sunblock and still managed to burn the exposed areas of my shoulders, neck, arms, and now feet. I am utterly amazed. Tomorrow, I am wearing a t-shirt over my swim suit. I do not know how else to block some of the potential damage to my skin. I ended up feeling like I would need a body suit to protect myself from the sun. It was so awful today, that we cut our time on the boat short because I was frying. Our plan included spear fishing, snorkeling, eating Kentucky Fried Chicken on the beach and then returning to Nassau. Due to my love/hate war with the sun, we dined on KFC in the boat. Delightful. I have not eaten KFC in years. They told me that anything tastes good on a boat and I would have to agree.
Simon and Erik caught us 6 lobsters and Greg, Simon's father, grabbed 6 conch shells. I was intrigued by the conch diving as the shells varied in size and color. They offered me the largest one to take back to the states and I, gladly, accepted.
As a result of the spear fishing success, we are dining on lobsters tonight. I cannot wait.
Lobster, dirty rice, wine...what a life! I am blessed with my friends and feel so fortunate to have met Shar, in Chile. Otherwise, I know my trip here would have been completely different.
I have done so many activities with locals' that I know would not have been an option had I tackled Nassau by myself. I feel sorry for the cruise dwellers or other travelers that choose to stay in all inclusive resorts. They are missing out a huge part of the Bahamas and what it has to offer. I have seen midnight basketball games outside of Hammerhead's Bar, snorkeling with no fee (almost too many times to count), impromptu daiquiri stops from around the island, met incredible lovely people that want to showcase their perspective of Nassau. Yes, I have been blessed with people in my life.
Tomorrow, we are heading out on the boat, again....what a life.....
