LET'S GO RIDERS!!!!

Why hello our fellow followers!!! We are so glad you all seem to be enjoying this as we just love writing these...Brit and Taya have to because after 1 entry each in their journals, they aborted the mission and this will be printed off as a journal at the end!!! Slackers! Briana on the other hand, is nauseatingly faithful! So today is Sept.20, we are behind..so back to yesterday...apparently we are failing at this too! We came to the beach after a brilliant breakfast served to us on our porch...not bragging or anything...checked out the snorkelling...realized that it was going to be closed the next day due to Ramadan(sp.) holiday, so we ran to our room and 1 hr later we were on the boat to snorkel around the 3 Gilles Islands. Oddly enough, the 3 of us along with 3 other girls couldn't fit on the boat ( not because of our packs!!!) and we soon realized that their 'accent' was VERY similiar...so similar, it turns out that they are 3 nurses from Regina General! Quickly came, the Rider chant, slow clap and singing row, row, row your boat through massive swells on the ocean! haha..instantly friends and have been hanging out since. We stopped in 3 places for snorkelling...Taya quickly realized that her and Micky are alike in that we are built for land whereas those GD Dalziel girls have gills..bitches! P.S. Micky if you are reading this, your 1st snorkel episode in Mexico makes me feel a little bit better about myself! lol. Of course Taya had the floppy snorkel and the mask that wouldn't seal..making her little asian eyes burn like no other...and of course, a fit of rage to follow!!! Saw amazing sea life, with beautiful fish and Nemo's, Brittany tried to ride a turtle just like Serendipity...we were a foot away...chasing it like a fat kid chasing a smartie. Briana decided to break out in song after seeing Dori...just keep swimming, swimming, swimming! As you all heard, we experienced our first earthquake at about 6 am...funny actually. Brit and Taya laying in bed cursing at the Ala god to remove the 'blessid' roosters from our rooftop, pillow, closets, under our bed..actually only outside..gawd dang I thought Roosters only cock-a-doodle-dooed in the morning...once! Not the case! Anyway, back to the point here...Briana lost her mind when the room shook like someone put a quarter into it! Throwing herself straight up, eyes as big as the Gilles goat when he saw us approaching, screaming 'EARTHQUAAKKKKEEEE!' a little dramatic..Taya tried to play it down, thinking a truck hit the bldg, soon remembering that only goats lived here ...unsure what to do-quickly went downstairs to check damage...Brittany thought...REVENGE OF THE GILLES GOAT! It was all good...pretty sureal actually, glad that we could experience it together! Today, was overcast, found our fellow canucks and took a 2 hour stroll around the perimeter of the whole island. Not much else...scubadiving in the next couple days. We extended our stay here in heaven until the 24th where we then head to Ubud for 4 days. Talk soon...just keep swimming, swimming, swimming! Miss you all. Peace. xoxox
