Yesterday the three of us hiked around the perimeter of the island... this was interesting! We found ourselves crossing over swampy areas where there are saltwater crocodiles, and ended up wading through some local muck - but it was awesome to go through the back pathways. All together, walking at an island like pace, it took us about 2, 2.5 hours to circles the island.
Then it was time for the ritual 12 -1 break, all of the island quiets down at this time and the school children ride their bikes back home for lunch.
From about 1 to 7 I live in my swimsuit, and Tyler and I go swimming and snorkeling at the Split. Jesse goes up there too, and sits in the shaded lookout.
Did I mention that we have not worn shoes for about 3 days? Everything is sandy floors - restaurants, indoors, outdoors, businesses. You just rake 2 times a day. Sandy sandy sandy!
Jesse found out where to get fresh fish off the boat, and we bought some Red Snapper fresh caught and filleted for us $12 US for 6 hearty meals.
This morning I bought tacos from the taco lady cart and it was $2.50 for 5 tacos - I am soooo full!
From the front door of our hostel, sunrise.
Tomorrow we will be moving on to Guatemala, taking the water taxi and then the local buses to Flores.
