Saturday

Since the hurricane blew right by us, we were able to keep our initial plans of Snokeling with our guide, Roberto.  We were able to enjoy a full day on the sea!  Roberto steered his boat out to the Port of Honduras Marine Reserve, where he stopped at a great place for snorkeling.  Our two big sightings were a Spotted Eagle Ray and a Barracuda or two!  Once we were exhausted from snorkeling, Roberto took us to an island called the Snake Caye (pronounced key).  He set up hammocks for us and brought out the snorkel gear for anyone to continue to snorkel.  This island was also home to hundreds of hermit crabs!  While we were relaxing, exploring and swimming, Roberto was hard at work making our lunch.  He had brought food with him, and was cooking the BBQ chicken, fry jacks, beans, and potatos over the open fire.  He also added some coleslaw and this lunch was DELICIOUS!  Roberto tried to convince us to go snake hunting, but none of us were interested in doing that!  He did spot one non-poisonous snake hanging high above our heads in a tree.  When we were ready to leave, Roberto took a long way back, keeping an eye out for Mantees and Dolphins.  We didn't actaully get to see any - but it was a beautiful journey!  He also took us a few miles down the Jericho river.  It was a relaxing day - Just what we needed!  I think we were all in bed before 9:00 PM!
