The deep blue sea

Imagine you are in the Rainforest Cafe at the MOA...except in real life. Think Finding Nemo. That has been my life for the past 3 days. I am sitting at the computer and my body still feels like its moving with the current underwater.
After 5 lessons and worksheets, 4 quizzes, 1 final exam and 6 diving experiences, I am officially scuba certified. I've seen 3 sea turtles, 5 trumpet fish, a drum fish and millions of rainbow fish. No sharks however :(
Ashley is finally feeling better and went for a dive this afternoon. After eating soda crackers, peanut butter sandwiches and sprite for days, it was great to eat vegetable soup yesterday for dinner. Then today I went big and ate rice and beans with fresh lemonade.
Every night on this island there is a bar with Lady's Night. That means free rum all night long. (Maybe that's why I am feeling swirly.) The locals are awesome and the divers from all over the world are wicked fun! I'm currently working on my Australian, British, Danish, and Finish accent imitations.
Tomorrow Ashley and I are off to Belize to explore. We are not really sure what we are going to do there or how we are going to get there but we want to say we've visited. I told her there is no way in hell I am going to visit Belize City (my family and I went there 6 years ago and it was icky.)
Peace out dudes! Narly!
