San Pedro...Continued

Tuesday – 7/31

Well, after a great dinner last night at a local place called “Wild Mango’s” we wondered back to our place and had a couple of beers as we looked over the water…still really windy here, but that seems to be OK since it keeps the bugs away…umm…yea, I’ll have that! Just a quick plug for Mango’s…it was great, actually a local expat wandered in with his catch from the day, and the chef battered it up in a coconut batter for him…it blew all of our meals away…and that is saying allot, because our food was incredible. Anyway, more of a statement to the quality of food we have had everywhere…TASTY! But on to today’s activities…More diving…that’s right, but when in Rome…do as the…well you get the picture. We did two Morning dives, one to a place called Mermaids Layer, and the second to San Pedro’s Canyon…both exquisite. The water was clear to about 75 feet and we saw a tremendous amount of different fish, including tons of Nurse Sharks (ok, we brought food with us), Rays, Eagle Rays (Have spots and are bigger), Lobster, Moray eels, a turtle (well I saw it and Jori didn’t, so don’t say anything…she is not too happy about it)…and ton’s of other types of fish I will have to identify when we get back. I can only say that this place is paradise…

This afternoon…speaking of good food…we stopped at this hole in the wall down town San Pedro…it always seems the hole in the wall places rule doesn’t it? Anyway, we ordered up 4 lobster burritos…wow that was a mistake, we could have fed about 8 people easily with the amount of food we got…oh, and did I mention they were lobster…must have been two lobsters to each burrito…brilliant! I don’t think I will be able to eat lobster again for awhile…After food, we hit the resort and did some relaxing…we have a 5:00am curtain call tomorrow…going to the Blue Hole to do some deep diving!

Cheers! RB
