After getting up at nearly 230am to catch our flights, we are finally here in the island of Roatan. An island only about 40 miles long, and mostly English speaking. A little bit different for us, seeming we have been traveling in central America where the most common language is Spanish. so walking in the grocery store, and speaking Spanish with an English reply is a little different for us. Starting yesterday we met our Diver masters, Tony and Reno and watched a series of videos on the parts to scuba diving. Lucky ducks Karen and Bobby are already certified divers, and are just hanging out doing some review while the rest of us learn new stuff. Today, a more eventful day brought us to a trip out in the water, swimming in the ocean to the buoy, snorkeling seeing the coral reef in the Caribbean for the first time, and later going out for the first dive. Also today Karen and Bobby went out for there first dive 130 ft deep and saw two mantarays, and a huge crab. How neat are the wonders of the underwater world!
Well thats are for now friends and family,
With love,
Celia L.
