The first farmer's market of the year surrounded the capital. It wasn't completely hopping as it's early yet, but there were lots of vendors and customers.
Fried cheese. Yum. A bit like saganaki (flaming cheese in Greek town.)
Stella's Famous Hot Cheese Bread. Notice the shelving at right. They just drove it up, unloaded them from the truck and there was an instant line to purchase the steaming loaves. We had to get one too. It was an awesome foot wide soft bun jammed with cheddar and monterrey jack and a touch of hot pepper. Mmmmmm...
The Glacial Drumlin trail starts out our back door.
The road riding is beautiful rolling farm country.....
with cheese shops everywhere. America's Dairyland even has cheddar cheese cows with chocolate cheese feet. Blurry, but you get the idea.
Dive deck.
Lido deck. Outside.
Typical day:
Sat out the first couple dives. Still a bit stuffed up and sick, but the views were very nice. Read three books. mmmm.
Sunsets every night. No green flash though. Bummer.
Ditto.
Nicola. One of my dive buddies.
Yellow tube sponges.
These were the most amazing color of purple! I wonder if I can photoshop the color back in...
Blue tang feeding frenzy with a large blue parrot fish involved.
Huge loggerhead. ~60 years old and a head bigger than a basketball. Swam right at me. I had to get out of its way!
French Angel Fish. Some think they mate for life. Awww.
Peacock Flounder.
Porcupine fish.
Spotted moray eel. Just a baby.
Green moray eel. Not a bad shot considering I was laying on my belly in the sand with my hand stuck into the overhanging crevice as far as I could just hoping one of the pictures would be pointed at him....and hoping he wouldn't decide to bite of that same hand.
Dove the famous Belize Blue Hole. It's 1000 feet diameter and about 465 feet deep. Used to be a limestone cave that collapsed. You can allegedly see it from space.
I dove it before so I knew what to expect. Deep, dark and very cool stalagtites. This is me near a stalagtite. 
There were also Caribbean Reef Sharks hanging around as well. 
Did a surface interval on Half Moon Caye after diving deep at The Blue Hole. It is a protected island because it's a nesting ground for the rare red footed booby. (It's a bird). 
There is a campground where you can stay for the week and dive, but nobody else lives there except the rangers. 
Some of my favorite moments...
Saw spotted eagle rays a couple times. 6-7 foot wing span. mmm.
Me again!
I got so close to it I got scared. Then it got scared of me and took off. Watch the beautiful wings undulating....
