sometimes 3 outfits is not enough

Can you believe its almost been a week? It feels like we have only just got here and we leave the day after tomorrow! I'm falling more and more in love with this place and the people. Everyone I have met are so happy and vibrant, Tara who will be living with us for our travels is amazing. She is so goofy and happy-go-lucky. Our dive instructors Mineesh, and Chris are so great, they are very funny and knowledgeable guys. The area is also very stunning, with blue water, white sandy beaches, and tropical jungles. What more could I ask for? But alas time for another shift to another amazing place. But before I start talking about the future I guess I should talk about today!

Today we left promptly at 8 and drove down to the docks where we left and went out to an island, which served as the site for our first two dives. Here we saw lots of big puffer fish, orange box fish, parrot fish, butterfly fish, trumpet fish, a blue spotted sting ray, and I'm sure lots of other things I am forgetting.

Then we took off for a little and went closer inland (about an hour) here we did a discovery dive and the area wasn't too bad it was filled with huge boulders and concrete blocks. Then we headed back inland just in time to see the sun set on the ocean. 




On this excursion I also came to realize, 3 shorts, and 3 shirts, are not enough to survive with for a three month long journey.
