Sailing on a ocean so fine...
Today we decided to go do a snorkerling tour. We chose the comapny calles "Ragga Muffin" tours. It was $85 Belizian dollars and that was for the whole day including rum-punch, lunch and fruit.
We went out on a sailboat and it wa fantastic. The weather was fab. Sunny and gorgeous and it didnt rain. We had three snorkeling stops. The first one was pretty basic and we just puttered around looking at little fish here and there, but the second and third stops were absolutely fab. There was huge fish, rays and even sharks. Zoe, Sage and I were paddling about when all these fish started swimming up to us, and bumping into us. It was truly freaky. They were the kind of fish that were huge and greay with massive eyes. Turns out our "friendly" guides were throwing bait our way and fish were diving for the food.
We had an under water camera, so we shot some pics of us petting and holding sharks. I even patted a ray, which in my opinoin is very brave since they are all "flat n' dodgy"
By the time our last snorkeling stop was over it was time to bust out the rum punch and watch the tourists get tanked. It was beautiful. The girls and I talked to this really cool lady (Im a jerk and cant remember her name) She was reeeaaalllllyyy awesome and we hung out with her and talked about how screwed up Amercia is, and how yummy ketchup is on chicken. Her and her husband have travelled around quite a bit and had lots of intresting stories.
We also met this couple from Seattle who made fun of our Canadian Accents. Apparently we say pasta and rasta completely wrong. Its supposed to me "Pahh-stahh".....whatever. Americans dont know EVERYTHING. They were really nice though and we are meeing them later so they can give us their %100 Deet. They said it is crucially needed in the Guatemalan jungle.
All in all, the sailing/snorkeling adventure was fantastic! I really tried my hardest to not get burned, but in the god-damned tropical sun its nearly impossible. Luckily its only just a chunk of my back. Much better than Zoes complete 'ass burn' which looks horrible, and she says its really hard to get shorts on. hahahahahaha.
Tomorrow, were getting off the Island and heading out to San Ignacio.
