First swim!

I had my first swim today!  It was really nice!
And it definitely helped me feel more settled. 

I was feeling a bit restless yesterday and this morning.   I needed to walk or bike and get into the ocean. I hadn't yet partly because it's been raining, partly because I hung out with Pat and Linda yesterday, and partly because I've had some bookkeeping type work to do, and I was kinda tired.

But this afternoon, I got air in my bicycle tires and oil on my chain, and got going!  I went to one of my favourite swim places, the Blue Angel. It was great to swim again!  The water was warm and calm and I saw a small sting ray, about 10" in diameter. 

The only issue is that the Blue Angel has new signs that say "The pool is for hotel guests only".  Uhoh!  There is another small area where us non-hotel guests might be welcome to sit.  But the number of chairs there is very limited and the ground is very rocky and bumpy - not comfy for lying on at all.  And I really do enjoy a short nap on a comfy chair before or after my swims.  I might have to seek out another favourite place....

Middle - the drains in the bottom of the pool in the courtyard.  I think they look like tadpoles. My downstairs neighbour, Susan, says they look like sting rays.
