Sun, 30 Jan.
before i get started, i want to post the photo of the fence that i put up at Madi's that i didn't have a few days ago.
before
and after
that seems like another lifetime ago !!!!!!!!
ok, now that's done ... back to the present:
up at 6:30am and a 1/2 hour walk to the dive shop, (i managed to choose the dive shop the farthest away from home!) i am REALLY glad i did the refresher course! it's been awhile and i've always struggled with my 'neutral bouyancy' ... Debbie helped me to understand how to do it! i felt very relaxed and comfortable going with the rest of the group. i still need a lot of practice to do it unconsciously; but i'll get there. we dove 2 dive sites: Iron Bound and The Aquarium. diving is great fun!
sorry, no photos ... i thought i needed to concentrate on my diving ....
we returned to the dock around 3pm ... a long day already! i was going to take a nap when i got home; but Gato Gordo looked at me like he hadn't eaten. even though he doesn't look like it!
doesn't he have an unusual striped tail ... ?
i didn't see anyone feed him today, so i walked back into town to buy him some food. he ate like he was starving.
we sat together on the porch for awhile. and what a beautiful porch it is.
isn't this porch just begging for a hammock or two?
while we were sitting there, Trish rode up in a taxi with my new roommate, Abi. she is from England. i don't think i mentioned that Nicole and Chris are in the other room in our suite. they are also from England. and Tim, is upstairs, from Chicago (among other places). so we are out-numbered 3 to 2.
since Abi was settling in, i went just down the street to Hotpot for dinner. i really like this place and there is never anyone there ... i feel bad for them! it's owned by a woman from Norway and her husband. it's off the main drag, but they just need some advertising. the palapa is done beautifully, (built by the husband), the food and service are great, and reasonably priced. i'm going to spread the word.
here is a photo of my dinner. in the upper right hand corner of my plate is Breadfruit. it was sliced and baked, kind of like a potato, but with a sauce on it.
and here is a photo of the Breadfruit tree
and the breadfruit ... well .... fruit
