Bioluminescent Bay
Kayaking with a group of friends in the Bio-bay in Vieques was an unforgettable moment. The Bioluminescent bay is a bay that have this kind of microorganism that shine when cause any sort of movement in the water. When we first got near the entrance you stop seeing civilization and start getting in touch with the environment. The road was dusty with big wholes filled with water, not so affable looking. All I could see around the road was nothing but trees and darkness. I was very dauntless to go out there and see how was going to be. When we got to the bay, we immediately jumped right out of the bus and started getting ready for this whole new adventure ahead of us. Mosquitoes where everywhere attacking us and the unfortunate thing about it was, we weren't allowed to use Off because that is very toxic for the microorganism in the bay. You can imagine how stressful was being attacked by these little creatures, it was so surcease. Walking to the bay, you could smell the scent of mangrove, feel this fresh air breeze and see the capacious bay like as if you were smelling a scented candle. The floor of the bay was so slimy and it felt funny under your feet just like a blob. In the shore of the bay, you could barely see those green, sparkly microorganism shinning, but when you hoped on the kayak and started rowing deeper into the middle of the bay you could see the most fascinating green particles glowing as if you were leaving a trace of glitter on the water, almost abstruse. You could even see the fishes in every detail despite the sullenness that we had around us. That feeling you get while rowing in this wonderful magic bay is such an unbelievable feeling. This color of green will never leave my mind having a pretense of glitter. Like they say, the simple things in life are the bests.
