Isla San Jose My roommate and I rose before the sun and sipped coffee while the red sandstone cliffs of San Jose island lit up with the rising sun. It was worth getting up early, though I stayed up late to watch stars last night. The night skies are so clear, I could actually see some constellations. After a nature walk, it felt great to finish off the morning with a swim. I tried snorkeling for the first time with the help of the crew. I saw sea stars, colorful coral fans, and comical-looking parrotfish. Each island is a little different, I don't want to miss anything!
