Today, I woke up pretty early. Still on the work schedule, I guess. I went running on the beach. so soft and quiet, it was nice. The humidity here is pretty high which is weird so maybe I'm making shit up but it's a good workout in steamy weather. I was drenched by the time I was done. Then, I hit the hotel gym. Crazy nice gym. Showered, prepped and ready... next, it was strategy meetings till 1pm. Very productive and lots of good breakthroughs. Then, lunch at the hotel restaurant, where i had some super fresh seared ahi salad. Yum.

After lunch, I changed into some ocean-friendly clothing to get ready to hop on a speedboat off to a docked catamaran. We were going to go out snorkeling. The catamaran was MAGNIFICENT. I got to climb up the deck to watch the skipper set sail (we're going to go on it again on friday for a sunset ride). We took the catamaran out to the ocean to two sites.. one coral reef and the other a ship wreck. The water is so salty here that it hurts my poor contact-filled eyes so I spent most of my time on the boat instead of in the water. Amazing views all around nonetheless.

Tonight, we eat at Cuba's Cookin'. Great little cuban restaurant, home of the best mojitos i've ever had and some yummy seafood! 808372 mojitos later, hopped into a cab and headed back to the hotel.
