Spent the day on a large, colorful boat. An eight-island tour, with snorkeling, lunch, a BBQ snack, and lots of Europeans.
I spent most of the day napping under the sun. I went snorkeling off of two of the islands.
At the second one, the reef was wonderfully alive. A school of medium-sized striped fish followed us around, as one man fed them from an orange juice bottle.
Giant purple anemones sat on the floor, with matching fish nestled in their tentacles.
I dove down next to a brilliant turquoise clam. He didn't want to play, and sucked himself in. I returned to the surface, and repeated the maneuver a few times. He didn't seem amused.
Loisaida is a term derived from the Latino (and especially Puerto Rican) pronunciation of "Lower East Side", a neighborhood in Manhattan, New York City. Loisaida Avenue is now an alternate name for Avenue C in the Alphabet City neighborhood of New York City, whose population has largely been Hispanic (mainly Puerto Rican) since the late 1960s.
