The massage last night officially cured me. I was raring to go! I was hungry and I was thirsty -- I was back to my usual self! Our house faced an empty patch of sand on the main strip. We could see how calm the water was. We could see how green it was. It was a good day to join a snorkeling trip to the coral garden. We had breakfast at Rasta Pasta where we had fried jacks with a plate of different kinds of tropical fruits. It wasn't even 10am and the sun was already beating down our backs as we walked the neighborhood to check out the scene. We observed a few other restaurants we'd like to try for the rest of our stay. We bought fresh watermelon juice from a street vendor. We even watched a few iguanas sunbathing and devouring handouts of bread in an empty construction lot. We walked by Star Tours as they were preparing for their next snorkeling tour. For BZ$35 (about US$15 each), we signed up for half a day of snorkeling that included three stops: the part of the Barrier Reef where the sting rays hang out, the coral garden and the shark stop. It was the Fourth of July and there will be no fireworks in the country of Belize today. We didn't mind at all. Rasta Pasta Middle part of the Caye by Front Street. You won't miss it because the owner is this lady with braids and a scratchy voice. Jolly Roger's Also on Front Street. We ate dinner under canopies and our grill man agreed to take our fish off the grill when we wanted him to. We were able to hang out and drink beer after dinner while playing a round of Scrabble. Massage from the boy Sorry, exclusive to girls with the name Cia.
