Elaine's Pictures
This was downtown San Pedro and this woman was making tortillas right there on the street
This was the big night hotspot downtown
We were quite impressed with this lady, carrying a bundle on her head and her child in her arms
More scenes from our Goff's Caye Island lunch adventure
This is where we caught the water taxi

Last Stop on the Tour - Caye Caulker
The end of our big adventure day was a stop at this island. It is much more primitive than Ambergris Caye as AC has brick paved streets and these are all dirt roads. Took a quick walk down Main Street Caye Caulker, then headed for the boat dock.
Our last site of the day was to play with the sea horses from the mangroves. Did you know that the male sea horse carries the young and gives the live birth?

Snorkling With Stingray and Nurse Shark
Two Fish Two Beer. Our tour guide bartered the fish to use a chum when we got to the snorkling spot.
Here is the guide holding up one of the rays
Geranimo! And in I go
Wow, here comes the nurse shark my way
And right past me
Really, time for me to get out
Quite an experience

Lunch at Goff's Caye Island
After seeing the manatee, we traveled to this little gem, a beautiful pristine little island for lunch. Looks like something out of a commercial, doesn't it?
Before our chicken, potato, vegetables, and cupcake lunch, we snorkled around the island
Good snorkling, too. Here is a flounder.
Lois waves hi.

The Manatee Watch
Our all day tour started at the Marine Reserve where we watched for manatees.
The water is very shallow and the manatees feed off the roots of the sea grass. The only way to find them is look for the discarded sea grass floating on the surface. While they are feeding, they surface for air about every minute.
This is all you see of them, just their snout coming out of the water, taking a breath and going back in.
Still, it was neat and interesting

Our First Excursion Into San Pedro
Was in the evening for dinner and to walk around town. It was too hot to go during the day, so we went in the late afternoon and it was still plenty hot. This headboard was inside one of the shops that we visited. Woodworking seems to be a living for a number of people and they really do seem to be artists
This is at the restaurant and Lois is showing off her shrimp. The dishes were prepared by a true chef, another artist
Key Lime Pie. Yummo!
This sign was on the way out of one of the gift shops near the water taxi dock

Central America Travels
The puddle jumper airplane that I co-piloted was this one
After we landed, we took a taxi to the super market in San Pedro. We had to get groceries for the week along the way to the motel as there were no grocery stores or Circle K's around the resort. We bought only American food and lots of Coke Light, which is what they call diet there
We then took the auto taxi to the water taxi and took the water taxi to our resort
And here is our condo that was home for the week
