Today has not been my favorite day of vacation. I knew the day was not going to go well after Jeff and I poured creamer into the waffle iron instead of the waffle mix. This lead to some guy and his young daughter making fun of the Aggies (I had an A&M shirt on) not being smart enough to do anything and telling his daughter she will not be going to school there. THEN, I was yelled at by the wait staff in Spanish for making a mess. Ugh…I wanted to help clean it up, but they kept speaking Spanish and wanted nothing to do w/ me…so I decided to come back to the room and shower to get ready for our manatee adventure. THEN, the water would not turn on in our room….for a good 20 minutes. It finally came on, but it wasn’t very warm and didn’t have a lot of pressure. Only good note: I didn’t ruin the waffle maker. It seemed to work fine the rest of the morning.

After the chaos of the AM, I thought for sure the full-day cruise would be great. Don’t get me wrong our sailboat was amazing and the crew was super nice, but I don’t think I’m a big fan of sailing or of snorkeling. BUT, the snorkeling we did do was very good. We also got to explore another Caye: Caye Caulker…so that was neat.

Additional bad news: No manatees. Our guide searched for at least 30 minutes while we were snorkeling, but he couldn’t find them. Bummer.

However, the night ended well with a nice hot shower and a chance to blow-dry my hair! Then, we had what we would consider our best meal so far at a place called Fido’s (overlooking the beach). We had a calamari appetizer, lobster (for me) and bacon wrapped shrimp (for Jeff). We topped it off w/ a slice of Key Lime Pie. All good!!

Not sure what the plan is for tomorrow. I really want to snorkel w/ some real sea creatures (turtles, sting rays, or nurse sharks), but I’m not sure I’m ready for another boating adventure….stay tuned…
