Driving through Honduras. On an island too! Arm.

Driving through Honduras.
The first thing I notice are the green things growing out of the ground.
This place is a giant garden waiting to be tended to.

Utila
We took a ferry about an hour and a half to get here early in the morning. After a day of biking and wondering what other things to do we decided on getting certified for scuba diving. Now advanced divers we can show you a thing or two under the water.

A pretty fence and some pretty flowers

The view of the North side of the island from our boat.
Did I mention swimming with a whale shark? Ten feet away from my face?

Here´s our team. Team awesome!

A bike ride brings you to one side of the island that does not wrap around to the other. Where the road ends here you have to take a boat to the other side. Boats are the main form of transportation when it comes to diving, fishing and getting from one island fishing village to the next.

A great view of where the shallow reef ends in a dive to the ocean floor.

Here it is. My chemi-burn.

Enjoy!

Placencia, Belize

Great grandma of J's just above and a day of Easter swimming just below.
J and I actually made a little stand selling fresh cut and picked coco water with rum and lime juice. An extra slice of papaya for good measure.

Getting ready for the big Easter egg hunt.
Kids color their rabbit bags and scramble around debating the difference of each color of egg.

Water taxi

Water taxi place. Yes I did put my right foot in :)

Bakalar and Chitzen Itza

In Bakalar jumping away from the pirates

A little something I like to call a wall carving at Chitzen Itza

Look at this reflection

During the spring Solstice for a length of about 20 days you can see the snake shadow.
Can you?

Tulum y mas.

Tumlum ruins straight on the beachIf you look into the sky you'll see the first rains of the spring equinox. There was a ceremony earlier in the morning but by the time we got there it was over and people were scrambling under tents to stay dry. I hid under a coco tree and then ran out into the thick rain wishing I had brought a bathing suit for the azul ocean.

This is where I would LOVE to look out a window and call the view a place near home. Maybe except for the iguanas with their chops covered with the blood of prey. They're a bit freaky moving as fast as they do both away and then ever so surprisingly toward you!

Puerto Morelos. A little dock and a little boat. We went fishing here and we all caught trigger fish or as I was informed...Humuhumunucunucuapua'a. Bad bad girl. Hawaii's state fish!
Duh

A little shack by the shore of Puerto Morelos
