We left in the morning on Friday, which was a struggle...and got to Lagos in the early afternoon. We walked into the pretty beach town and hung out at the pool on the roof of our hotel for the rest of the day, it was cloudy so it was pretty chilly. On Saturday we luckily came into some great weather for our "Sailboat Sangria Tour and Grotto Cruise". The sangria was most definitely flowing, and it started at 11am! Demasiado. It was great to hang out on the sailboat, of course I jumped off it into the freezing cold water, it was...invigorating. We went in launches from the sailboats to tour the grottos and alcoves on the coast. I couldn't believe how gorgeous it was. Then they dropped us on the beach for the rest of the day (with incredibly soft sand!) Today we were beach bums all day. There's a beautiful little beach right down the street from our hotel, so we walked down there and set up camp. Getting in the water was a challenge because it was SO COLD, but Liz, Kate and I swam out to one of the cliffs and jumped off of it. It wasn't too high, but it was still a thrill. After staying in the water for that long my skin got so numb that it actually started feeling hot.
