San Pedro!!

We left fairly early in the morning to fly by "airbus" to the island of San Pedro. This day was designed to be a day of relaxation before heading back to the real world. Our flight was approximately 20 minutes of beautiful scenery. The water was so clear, you could see schools of fish swimming.

Once on the island, a group of us walked through the town and found "Aqua Divers" and they took us out snorkeling. I've never snorkeled before, but it was fabulous. We saw some amazing coral, beautiful fish, a sea turtle, lots of sting rays and yes, a shark. Blondie was our tour guide for the day. He was quite humorous. He made the trip interesting.

After snorkeling for 3 hours, we headed back to shore and did some shopping on the beach. Everyone has a great deal for you. I did buy some fun things to bring home with me. We ate lunch at "Fido's". Wow, something other than beans and rice. I ate until I literally felt like I would explode. Chips and Salsa, Fajitas, Strawberry Daiquiri, Peach Daiquiri, yum. I was in heaven. Lana and I took off to do some more shopping. It was fun to walk through the town and see the life of San Pedro. I can't wait to go back.

On our last night, we had a farewell dinner down in the bar, which is right on the beach. We had a lot of good laughs and all of the team leaders did a short wrap up of the week and what was accomplished while we were there. Jeff had put together a final video which was hard to watch and yet rewarding at the same time. I had planned for this trip since summer and now it was coming to an end.

After dinner, we took a boat ride out into the pitch black. These guys were flying through the water and we couldn't see anything. The sky was amazing. The stars are breathtaking. I'm here to tell you, there's nothing like it. I saw at least 30 shooting stars while I was there. I think I hold the record. While we were on the boat, we looked for "red eyes" which would have been a crocodile, but we didn't see anything. I think I was okay with that. I just enjoyed the sky. Every once in awhile, the guys would turn off the boat and it was so quiet. It was deafening. How often do you get an experience like that. Rarely.

We headed back to Tony's Inn. I spent some time on the beach just enjoying the night. I think it was one of the best nights ever. The next day, I'm heading home...
