swimming with sharks off la isla bonita

i am so thrilled! i had the best day yesterday. i continued my adventures in the water. i went to caye caulker and ambergris caye aka la isla bonita aka san pedro.
Last night I dreamt of San Pedro
Tropical the island breeze
All of nature wild and free
This is where I long to be La Isla Bonita
(madonna)
i went on a full day snorkling trip off of the two cayes! it was wicked!! we did three dives. the first dive i got to swim with sharks!! i actually touched one. whaat? the fish were so huge! the sharks even bigger. the second dive was off of the barrier reef at this place called hol chan. it´s where there is a break in the reef. the coral was so cool to see. i felt like i was living a discovery channel/nova program on underwater life. there was brain and fire coral, baracuda, yellowtail.... the third dive we tried to see manatees, but there weren´t any in the water, but while in the boat we saw dolphins!! bellisima.
i say bellisima because there were these two italian women on the same tour. they were so much fun and it turned out that they live in playa del carmen, mexico. guess what my next destination was supposed to be? guess where i am and how i got here? i am now in playa del carmen and i got here by hitching a ride with sara y lori. i was actually planning on leaving for playa on tuesday. i had already bought a bus ticket and everything, but i couldn´t pass up their offer. it also turns out that sara is moving back to italia tomorrow. they were spending her last weekend in caye caulker. she has an apartment in playa del carmen that is paid for until the end of the month. guess where i will be staying tomorrow until the 30th? at sara´s super nice condo. sweet!
the only bummer was that my camera was busted for the last two days, so i have no pictures of the cayes. but it´s working properly now. also, i posted a few new pics sent to me by another volunteer. i will also post new pictures soon because they can burn my pics onto disk here.

nice to see that you can karaoke within your blog...now that song is in my head....thanks a lot.
now that you're more comfortable in the water ...its time to do the san diego thing and go surfing ...we can both suck at it.
