Quiet Sunday

Had a make shift breakfast and headed straight down to the dock for a morning snorkel. Nothing too unusual, although I did see a Gold Spotted Eel, that we don't see too often. Carol thought the picture was a Sea Snake, which freaked her a bit but as soon as we determined it was an eel, all was OK.

There is a type of Black Iguana that is an endangered species and only exists on Roatan. It seemed to be black iguana day here because we saw at least four different ones, most of them right around our Casita.

We did a bit of a walk about here this afternoon, the girls went for another snorkel, and then we laid around on the dock for a couple of hours. Hopped into the car after that and went further up the road to Paya Bay. Had a drink on their deck (Monkey Lalas made with ice cream but Eileen says she's had better) and then went for a walk around their various trails and beaches. They have some really nice nooks and trails. Their one secluded clothing optional beach was heavily damaged in a recent storm and has lost all it's sand. They're trying to re-do it. They have also taken a trail away out onto a rocky point where everyone seemed to be gravitating towards for the sunset. We didn't stay for the sunset but went back to their restaurant for supper. Great conch soup......

Tomorrow we have the two morning dives booked. I hope the wind drops down again like it did this morning so the boat ride is a bit smoother for Carol. It got quite windy this afternoon and still is, as evidenced by the occasional big acorn hitting the roof. I think the fire flies here have switched to halogen too. I'm watching one out the window now and is he ever bright.
