After a bit of a rough boat ride this morning we made it to our beautiful hotel
which sits 100 yards from the water. The clouds parted in the afternoon in time
for us to go see lots of marine iguanas and penguins. Yes, penguins at the
equator. We had another great snorkel trip full of octopus, manta rays, and sea
cucumbers and then we headed back to relax and have dinner at this amazing
hotel. Rick shows you a marine iguana.

We saw tons of iguanas in Aruba when we were there. They were rather LARGE and enjoyed stalking the sun bathers. Funny critters!
Sorry the boat ride was rough, hopefully it wasn't bad enough to make anyone sea sick. It sounds like you are seeing so many interesting things! How big were the octopi?
Thanks for the updates! We are enjoying them!

It sounds like your accommodations are a little more upscale than those of Africa. Your scenery looks inviting and your adventures unforgetable. The weather sounds so much better than Florida for the past month. Use lots of sunscreen.

Yuk! A rough boat trip! Never fun. But at least the rest of your day sounded fun. You saw penguins- funny! Have a great rest of your trip ~ AMC
