I've mentioned before that Becky and I aren't boat people. I do honestly believe that once a decade is enough for a real boat ride for me. Well, today, Becky and I allowed social capital to pay off one extra boat ride in the next decade.
It all started last Monday when we went to Purple Turtle because I didn't want to cook, and we hadn't been there in a while. We showed up and there were two other groups there. One was a large group of local Dominicans, and the other was a group of two that looked like students. Just as we were getting settled, the ones that looked like students paid and as they were walking away, they asked if we were here on a boat. Becky and I told them that we lived here. Their response was that we could tell them what was good to see on the island.
We invited them to sit and chat with us for a while. We found out that they were a German and a Swede to had been sailing for over a year. They were both musicians and had just got to Dominica the day before. One thing led to another, and then we decided to meet at Peter's Ribs on Friday. We met there, and as things tend to happen, we set up another meeting. Today, we met on their boat and went to Secret Beach for a chance to show them a "touristy place".
We went there, and while Becky and I were in the water, just fooling around, they went and hunted squid because I said that I liked it! I couldn't believe how nice these two were. After they got the squid, they came back and we cooked it for them and had a very charming little snack with some squid salad.
The sad part is, this was basically my last fun session for several days as tomorrow exams start. Wish me luck!
