Bill and I are sitting in the Lima airport waiting to fly to Cusco. We had a pretty good visit to Lima, but we’re ready to see something else. Lima is an interesting place. It’s nicer than San Jose CR, but definitely not a place where we’d want to live! It’s a big city with …

Rainy Last Day
I was hoping to have an exciting post for our last day, but no luck. It has rained all day long. It’s good that we didn’t come a week later because it’s supposed to rain all this week too and probably for the next few months. I’ve been in Costa Rica at the beginning of …
Mixed Results for Night Snorkeling
I got to go night snorkeling last night and it was one of the best snorkel trips I’ve done! We saw so many animals. There were 2 octopuses – one was bright blue and turned a molted shade of bluish-brown while we were watching. The other was just a baby and it only had it’s …
Seahorses
Bill finally got to go diving this morning. The weather looked pretty bad when we got up so we were concerned that he wouldn’t get to go again today. He was really hoping to dive at least once so it’s great that he got to go. He’s almost out of days. I had the morning …
Snorkeling
We finally had a bright, sunny day and reasonably good weather for snorkeling! It took a while for everyone to get snorkel gear and fins at Caveman Snorkel Tours so we left in boats a little before 11am. On the way out out, they gave us some fish and let us hand feed some frigate …
Sharks, Rays and Golf Cart Taxi Tours
We woke up this morning to more rain, and initially our day didn’t look very promising. At about 9am, a hotel employee came to tell us that all of our snorkeling trips had been canceled at least through tomorrow. Bill had been suggesting for a few days that we take a Golf Cart Taxi tour …
Hair Fix
I had to buy a solution for my hair today. This morning we went to Frenchies Dive shop where we found out that our snorkel trip for tomorrow has been canceled. Apparently, there is some huge ocean swell coming in tomorrow and all boat trips are canceled. I booked a half day snorkel trip for …
Weird Hair
So, the weather does weird things to my hair. I’ve never had it go fuzzy exactly like this. I look like Pigpen from the Peanuts cartoons. It’s really dusty here so, I’m even dirty like Pigpen. Every time I go outside, this is what happens, so it’s not like I had a hair malfunction just …
Cave Tubing with Emily
Hello All: This may be a short post. We had a long day and I’m running out of energy. We left our hotel in San Ignacio this morning and took an hour drive to do a cave tubing trip. It was pretty fun but shorter than I expected. We had to hike for about half …
Actun Tunichil Muknal
Emily We had a really awesome day! This morning at 8am, we left for a tour of the Actun Tunichil Muknal (ATM) cave. We were not allowed to take pictures although our guide said he would send Bill pictures this evening. Maybe we’ll get some that way. We had a half hour hike on a …
