Hola Madre!
What a day today has been! I woke up this morning to see a fiery
red sun rising over Cabo San Lucas. You would have absolutely loved it. I left
the ship this morning at 10:30 to set out on my snorkeling adventure! We
boarded a boat and were immediately greeted with pina coladas that kept coming
throughout the afternoon. The boat ride to our snorkeling spot took about 45
minutes, and was a beautiful scene. Once we finally arrived, we jumped off the
boat with our snorkeling gear. I had never been before so I wasn’t entirely
sure what to expect. I found a patch of coral where there were several
different types of fish! I even found Dory from Finding Nemo! So fun! I swam to
shore and laid on the beach for a little while as well. Once we were done, we
climbed back onto the boat and feasted on chicken kabobs, rice, beans, and
various other delicious Mexican food.
Cabo was absolutely beautiful, Mama. It was a great place to
go for the first port on our itinerary. I’ve been missing you a lot today. I
keep hearing Dad’s choked up words from that 7:30am phone call, “Lissy, I have
some sad news. Your mom passed away.” It just keeps repeating in my head. I
still don’t understand how this is real, Mom. How can it be that you’re not
here anymore? How can it be that I’ll never get to hug you again or hear your
voice? It’s so surreal. I love you so much, Mama. Keep watching over me and
keep me safe. Keep watching over Daddy too. He really misses you. I’m very glad
that I got to talk to him today.
Currently my roommate Katie and I are watching a lecture
about the history of Semester at Sea. It’s so interesting. I know you would
find it fascinating. You are Semester at Sea’s biggest fan after all.
The ocean has really been rocking today. I love the waves
rocking me to sleep. Come rock to sleep with me, Mama. I miss you.
