Ooooh, Barracuda!

I have a story to tell you all, but I am too much of a child to begin, climb to the climax, and then end a story, so I will begin and end with one thing: i got one i got one i got one (ooooh Barracuda). Matthew was successful as well in his fishing expedition and caught trigger fish, yellow tail snapper, cherry grouper, mutton fish, and snappers out the galore (black, red, etc.)... I also caught a trigger fish or two, a few tellow tail snappers, a cherry grouper, and some sort of snapper! SUCCESS!

However, Matthew was a little queezy beyond the reef, so we ended up coming on the inside of the reef and everything was fine. While the guide, Abel, Matthew, and his grandson Mariano continued to fish, I got bored and hot, so I decided to snorkel. Snorkeling was a challenge at first because I have to remember to not breathe through my nose (if you do, water enters the mask and it is no good). I finally got the hang of it and could see all of the fish nible at their hooks. It was a pretty awesome experience to be under the boat or water and see the natual instincts of fish.

We had a relaxing boat ride into the "bay" side of Ambergrise Caye for our beach BBQ. Captain Abel prepared the most delicous Yellow Tail ceviche... Believe me when I say that that ceviche may hve been one of the best appetizers here on San Pedro and eaten  by me anytime! He also prepapred boat and beach side the most delicous main course meal of Yellow Tail, butter, mayonaise, peppers, onions, tomatoes all wapped tightly in aluminum foil. Abel then took this to a secluded beach area to cook and we ate this delectable dish water side on the boat as we drifted out to the bay.

Matthew and I were able to get in a few snorkeling trips while fishing. One particular place that we went to for snorkeling is called Tres Cocos. Tres Cocos is one of those areas that was fun to swim and get turned upside down pretty quickly. I had to keep looking around to find the boat. Matthew and I got some great pictures with the underwater camera or we hope that we did! ::fingers crossed::

We came back to the hotel, chilled, read, and eventually made our way to Wayos. then down town for dinner at Carambas.... I am glad that we went to dinner there becase they had some great local dishes!!!

As I write this now, it has taken me proofing the entry, Mtthew as well... it is a strggule to finish this entry without falling asleep.

So, I will say farewell to you for today! We will be back and at it sometime tomorrow.

I will leave you with this: i got one i got one i got one!!!!

Love,
Carly and Matthew
