Fri, 9 Mar
met with the girls again, they made a list of things they wanted to do, so we found the Manager .... she is happy to have people who are willing to work. ...and it seems the girls are ready too. they are already planning some 'environmental education' activities for kids to do. .... obviously that would not have been my choice :) ...so glad it's theirs ! :)
i left around 1pm and noticed it looked very calm in the Bay from my room. so i decided to try snorkeling again, it should be ok down around Coral View. i packed the bare necessities in case someone tried to rib me off again. on the way there, i decided to go down to where there are some cute little bungalos and stash my bag there. i noticed there was a couple relaxing on their deck. i asked them if i could leave my bags there ... we recognized each other since we were on the same dive boat the other day.
so i headed for the water ... it was quite rough out there ... it's just outside of the Bay and it really makes a difference. i was being tossed around quite a bit, which doesn't bother me; but the resulting sand being stirred up in the water didn't make the visibility very good for snorkeling. some places were really hard to see anything. but of course, that didn't stop me from enjoying myself and taking a few photos
i know, ..... i have an addition to these blue-purple vase sponges ... i can't help it
this is a Blue Head Wrasse
a couple photos of a French AngelFish who just wanted to look at me :)
this is another type of AngelFish as well, it's called a Rock Beauty
and just as i was about to quit i saw this Orange-Spotted FileFish ... i saw my first one a week or so ago. i chased him around for probably another 20min to get a few shots
that white spot at the base of his tail is a distinguishing feature to determine identification.
they had a fresh water shower outside and offered to let me rinse off ... i appreciated that ... i still don't like the feel of salt on my skin :( ...i stopped in at The Driftwood for a rum and coke and Reiner (one of the guys from the band) was there again. i spent quite a bit of time visiting with him. he is a 'dog' person, and has a new baby Doberman .... i saw the puppy the other day, and didn't realize that's what he was because he still had his fuzzy puppy fur ... that will be one HUGE dog, his feet were enormous! he has another Doberman and 2 German Shepherds; and understands the importance of being the 'alpha' of the house. he says he loves watching Cesar on TV and enthusiastically believes what he teaches.
somehow we also got to the subject of the small village of Tela on the coast. .... since the bus ride from Copan, i've been thinking about spending a couple of nights there before getting on my flight back home. it's half way between where i am, and the airport,..... and a far better choice of location than LaCeiba or San Pedro Sula ! ....it's a small beach community that, from what i've read, some developers want to make the next Cancun .... God save us from ourselves! ... so i really want to get there now, before it's totally ruined!
Reiner knows the owners of a small resort there called Maya Vista and suggested i stay there. i feared it would be out of my price range, but Reiner seems to think it's not that bad. i said i would check it out and use his name. he also gave me some info on a tour to take while i am there.
came home, got cleaned up and walked the streets trying to decide what i wanted for dinner, and where. i ended up at Babalu's again .... and had the Garlic Shrimps ...., the sauce had a little too much garlic ... and i really like garlic ... but it was still pretty good.
checked in on Valentine when i got home, but she wasn't around.
