Ming Wei and I took the afternoon off and went to the beach yesterday. It was a really nice little bay with lots of little nooks formed by lava rock. We went snorkeling and saw parrotfish, angelfish and needle fish, but the most exciting thing was the baby octopus! I spotted him hanging out on a rock, changing colors like crazy. As he moved from the sandy bottom to the coral rocks, he would change from a light tan to a dark gray color. The colors seemed to ripple through him, it was insane to watch. We also swam out to a little point to see Neil Young's house! He's livin pretty large. 

           It got a little chilly as the sun started to go down, so we decided to crash a resort's hot tub. Best idea ever. Walked in with our clothes half wet and hair all beachy... maybe a little bit conspicuous. The trick is to try to grab a pool towel as soon as possible, because if you have the resort towel, no one will dare question you. It's ideal if you can snag one off a cleaning lady's cart before you walk out into the open. Thanks to Rapin family vacations, I'm fairly well practiced.
