View on arrival.
Again we had to take tenders to shore.
I think the pirate's of the Caribbean have been following us.
The amazing water on or boat ride out to go snorkeling.
My favorite thing to do.
All the dark spots are reef gardens full of fish.
Of course I am the last one back on the boat. I could stay out there for hours.
After snorkeling we went to a shallow sand bar near the barrier reef and got to walk around and play with the stingrays. All those dark spots are stingrays.
Yes, I got to hold them and they also give you a kiss on the mouth. So cool. These are wild stingray with their barbs still intact. But they are used to people and are very friendly.
I held this one and then let it go.
The guy on the bottom right is kissing one. We all got to do that if you wanted to.
The guides catch and pick them up with ease.
While we were snorkeling the guides grabbed these conch shells; in the U.S. that is a huge fine because they are endangered.
They take a blunt object and go through the top of the shell then pull out the animal. Then they cleaned the shell with a scrub brush.
They cleaned the animal and cut up the meat for all of us to try. It wasn't that bad; but would of preferred it breaded and deep fried.
