A Day at the Beach

Today we took a boat out to a beach called Playa Blanca. The sand was really soft and warm. There were a lot of small waves. I went snorkelling in the murky turquoise water. I didn't go very far because you get out of your depth pretty quickly and there weren't many fish. After a while I got bored so I came out and had a snack of a few biscuits. It was very busy and there were tables shaded by tents made with tarpaulin and palm tree wood. There was a whole lot of litter around. Very frequently people would come up and try to sell you things such as little statues, necklaces, food, drinks, and massages. It was a bit boring. The speedboat rides to and from the beach were fun, though. For lunch we had a fish called mojarra, which was maybe a tilapia. It was very tasty but the skin was very hard.
