We spent 3 nights on Isla Rosario. James spent 2 days diving so I had lots of time sketching! Most of these sketches were done sitting on the deck in front of our small hostel. This 4-room hostel is usually nice and quiet until lunch guests come to have lunch and take over the whole place with loud music :(
Xoana, the lady in the photo below is one of the lunch guests who visited the hostel. They were the nice guests and didn't play loud music to chase me away. I sketched Xoana and her friends having lunch. She asked if she could have the sketch and I agreed. Upon finishing the drawing, the wind picked up the paper and sent it to the sea! I jumped and Xoana screamed 'Por favor! Por favor!' Her boyfriend ran over and jumped into the water to rescue the paper. Luckily I was using pastel pencils and heavy drawing paper (I ran out of watercolour paper), the picture was fine and the colours didn't fade. Now the sketch is on its way to Spain. Xoana thanked me for letting her have the sketch. I thanked her for letting me have a story with a princess and her hero to tell :)

Great story! Glad to see you are on holiday!
