Hi everyone! We're coming up on the end of our first week on the lovely Honduran Island of Utila . We're back at Utila Lodge (after our visit in Dec 2009) and were really happy to see all of the familiar faces of the owner, Kisty, and her family and staff. It's a wonderful and homey place with amazing food and a great atmosphere.
I've spent a couple of days diving - it's nice and relaxing diving, warm water and lots of fish and sponges/fans/encrusting life - all the neat little things I love to find when diving. No whale sharks yet, but we're being positive!
The only snag we hit was the other day when Caroline was bit/stung by what is believed to be a doctor fly, and maybe even two. They're like little horseflies, and while the bites are not painful like horseflies at home, the result is a lot more annoying - itchiness along with swelling. We went to the local doctor - Dr. John - a hippy still living in the '60's that looks, sounds, and smells like Tommy Chong - but a very cool and thorough doctor. The swelling has gone down considerably, but still not back to normal.
This week, we'll be starting our Spanish lessons, I'm continuing working for the Lodge, and we'll continue to spend as much time in the water as possible!
Thans for reading - another post to follow soon!
