Getting acquainted with the island

What a fantastic day H and I had yesterday. We picked up H's books and materials from the school and he got his scrubs! He tried them on and I dont think he wanted to take them off! They are really big on him but I couldn't help but have the biggest smile on my face everytime I looked at him. And you could tell that he was really proud to wear them! We then decided to take a hike down to the bottom of the island where the airport is. What a hike! It took us about 2 hours to get there and we saw 6 iguanas on our way down!!! Now this might sound stupid but I never really thought that they actually existed outside of zoos. They are really primitive and cool looking! There were 3 hanging out on some rocks and then we saw one that had been hit by a car on the side of the road so we got to poke it and take a good look at it. Their skin is beautiful. I wanted to take it home with me to make a wallet with it! Later on we bumped into another really big one with its tail bitten off that was hissing at H!! As we appoached the airport, we could hear really loud techno music coming from the airport bar! The whole ariport and bar is about the size of Robson Cactus Club!! We got down to the airport just 30 minutes prior to a plane landing so we had the opportunity to see it! I dont think I will ever take the plane from here! The runway looks like the game "flight control"! Anyone with an iphone will know what I'm talking about. One of the only beaches on the island is down by the airport. It has been quite windy lately so the waves were crashing into the rocks. The colours of the water are stunning! Because the island is an old volcano, the beach isn't your traditional white sand beach rather it is volcanic debris. They have built 3 little tidal pools so H went in to cool off. I was trying to impress him and check out the waves but I got a little too close and almost got wiped out by one!  He was not impressed! We hitched a ride back up and we ran out of gas about half way up!! Luckily we were able to hitch a ride with someone else after a short walk. The girl who was orginally driving us was so upset, not about her car, but about us having to walk! The worst part of the whole day is that we forgot our camera so we will have to do the same hike over again and hopefully we will see all the same things! I went in for my first day of work it was very different then the serving I am used to- much more chill and relax. I felt like I was a stress case worrying that I hadn't been to table within 2 minutes of them arriving but the Cactus standards are not the Caribbean standards!

Just finished watching the Royal wedding on TV- what a spectacle!!! Thank you for reading. Keep checking back for more Saba fun!
