Ok, sorry I know this has taken forever to post...
Welcome to Punta Faro. We headed to this island 2 hours off the coast of Columbia on Tuesday afternoon via a 20 passenger speed boat. It was a nice day and fun being out on the water. I loved the boat ride, but was questioned by just about everyone on the trip if I was ok after the ride. Being prego and all you get that question alot.
My sweetheart and I in the boat waiting to head out to the island.
This was the little dock right outside of our room. We were just steps from the water.
The building we were in was the guest house and it had three separate rooms in it and then a common patio area with couches and hammocks.
Not a great shot, but there was not much to it. This is the door to our room and you can our bed inside. The bathrooms have a sink, toilet and shower in them but they are pretty primitive. The toilets worked some of the time and there was no hot water in the plumbing. You can picture the water coming out of the shower head like a hose on half power. It wasn't cold water, but definitely not warm. Being in the sun and salt water all day, any shower was welcomed.
Our guest house was located across a coconut field from the main area of the resort. It was beautiful, but I did worry about falling coconuts. I never saw one fall.
This little or not so little guy was hanging out in the coconut field.
This is the beach area where we spent most of our time. It was so beautiful and warm. We played in the water a bunch, went out snorkeling and Mike even got to go scuba diving.
For snorkeling they took us to a reef area about 10 minutes from the island. It was a little overcast that morning so the water was a little darker, but you could still see lots of fish. It was fun except for in those moments when you realize that you are in the middle of the ocean and something could eat you!
While there one of the guides swam over holding something. IT WAS A SHARK! He had caught a 3 foot shark and was swimming over to show us. I looked at it from a distance. Yikes!
The three of us posing for a picture. I am 21 weeks pregnant in these pictures.

It may be hard to tell unless you make this picture bigger, but this is Mike with live starfish for a bra singing a song from The Little Mermaid. It was hilarious, everyone was laughing so hard. Especially because he sang like 8 or 10 lines of the song.
This is the only picture I could find of me in my suit. It's a good side shot so you can see my baby belly.
This is the view from where we had breakfast each morning. We had lunch in another location each day and then dinner was moved each night to a different location.
All we can say is what an amazing experience it was and how grateful we are that we had the chance to experience it.
The crazy story of getting home will be in the next post.
