Are you familiar with the endangered species, manatees? You know the ones the environmentalists want to save? Well tomorrow we are going to save some, and by save I mean snorkel with, evidently you can do that sort of thing here without any problems. Actually it seems like you can do pretty much anything here without any problems, you better belize it! Anyway my goal tomorrow is to one up everyone, seize the moment and actually ride one of these bad boys or at the very least I’m hoping I can coax one to jump over me like that killer whale in the Free Willy movie. Alison just told me this is impossible, but I’ve assured her anything is possible… if you just put your mind (and in this case the manatees peanut sized brain) to it.
Anyway… if you haven’t guessed, we are on the island now – far far away from the roach motel and various friends we have made along the way. Here are some more Tikal pics for now.
Look, it's my brother Chris!

Hey, you know that guy in the tree isn't your brother….he doesn't have blue toenails!! I'm sure Chris could climb that tree though!

You should have a great time swimming with the manatees. They are very docile herbivores so you don't have to worry about one of them taking a big bite out of you if they are hungry. Hope you have a water-friendly camera and can share all the fun with these wonderful creatures.
