'Spanish Steps' into paradise

So I didn't tell you about the most breath taking place on this island. It's called Spanish Steps and it's on the Navy base. First you hike down a jungle cliff. The first half km is like straight down but there's ropes and ladders along the way. Totally something right up my alley - just the hike alone was great. Then you tromp through the jungle and try not to step on all the hermit crabs along the way. There's so many of them and they're purple, red and brown and big too! It's like being under a huge green umbrella as you go along the path. We saw a huge iguana/lizard thing that Georgia called a dinosaur. It's body was like the size of brando plus a tail. We only saw it for a few seconds before it got scared and took off into the trees. Once you break through the trees, you're on a coral rock beach at the edge of a coral reef inbetween two towering cliffs that are covered with bright bright green foliage. Between the cliffs are other smaller rock formations that are also cover with some kind of plants and then you get to swim all around them. There's so many fish!!! The best part were the bright blue star fish. I'm not talking about blue tinged - they're brilliant, bright blue. The water is ridiculously clear too. It's like looking into a fish tank, even without goggles on. Hopefully I can post pictures soon so you can kinda see what I'm talking about!

We just set sail again this morning from Guam so now it's back to just being surrounded by water. As we looked out we kinda agreed that it felt kinda comforting to be back and the water is super smooth this time, like I can't even tell that we're moving ahead.
