La Vida Loca

Hello friends, we are still alive and well. Today we took it easy and stayed out of the water, exploring Utila and meeting the locals. They are incredibly friendly people and their accent is a joy to listen to. We met up with Steve and Michelle after lunch with the idea of snorkelling on the west side of the island but a sudden rainstorm forced us into a bar and we were waylaid for a bit. Afterwards the sun never really came out so we bagged the idea and headed home to the hammock. Tonight we will try out RJ's BBQ which is supposed to be excellent and then it's off to Bar in the Bush, a famed night spot with a volleyball court and good people. Tomorrow we move yet again into a waterfront hotel associated with Alton Dive Shop where I will begin my advanced certification. It looks like a great place and I am excited to get more dives in, Angela has decided to stick with snorkelling and navel gazing, her specialty. The only drawback here has been the fact that it is indeed the rainy season and when a cloud breaks overhead it dumps inches of water in seconds. Amazing. But it is still at least 80F at all times so there is no hardships.
