One of those "this is why I live here" days

I was off island for about a week, and today is my first full day back.

I woke up to the sound of birds chirping, read for a bit in the breeze with my dog at my side, and then hopped in the car and headed west to meet up with a friend for some diving. I stopped at OfficeMax to fax something, and i received impeccable service. I rented what dive gear I don't already own at N2 the Blue, where I bumped into a coworker (love the small town-ness of that!) and received extra smiles because a friend of mine (also a poster here) knows the dive shop well.

Just off the west coast, I had a truly fabulous dive (6-8 foot sea turtle, large sand shark, octopus, lobsters, and fish so thick we could hardly see the coral at times), followed by a beer and a couple of hours of conversation on a porch atop one of the hills overlooking the west end. I stopped for butter bread at Centerline Bakery on the way home. The usual courteous drivers were out and about in abundance. Couldn't be happier. 😎 This makes up for all those things we all complain about!

On a clear day you can see forever.
Yesterday was that day. Could see Puerto Rico clear as a bell.

Where was the dive? Honestly, I couldn't get back there if I tried. My friend drove, and I was paying more attention to pulling on my wetsuit!
