Back in Monkey Bay and Ready to head HOME!!

These past two days we have traveled to an island paradise called Tobacco Caye by boat and snorkeled in the Caribbean sea, but that would be a huge understatement. On the simple boat ride from the city of Dandriga we saw many dolphins that circled around our boat. When we arrived at the island it was paradise from the clear, blue waters to the soft sand that we desired most of us wanted to call it home forever.  Our cabins were small and not fancy but that was not important because amazing snorkel spots and many snack shops that had everything we ever wanted surrounded the island. 

Before snorkeling, we visited the Smithsonian Institute field station on one of the neighboring audience.  Snorkeling was like going into a whole new world under the waves.  There were many exotic sea creatures and coral kingdoms.  The barracuda was the coolest thing we saw it was huge probably over 3 or 4 feet long with razor-sharp teeth.  Three to four feet long does not sound like much but when you are in the water it is the biggest thing out there except for you.  The barracuda swam at the top of the sea it had grey scales and a big mouth.  We had lunch on the beach and took a little swim to rest.  To top it off the end of the days we all walk over to the pier and watch the gorgeous sunset.   

We had an amazing time on the island and now are ready for a long day of travel.   We can't wait to see you all and we have had a great experience and many stories to tell!!
