Another do-nothing kind of day

Yep - there's a lot of those on Caye Caulker.  The sum extent of our activities today (excluding meals) included spending a couple of hours at The Split swimming/sunning, and a trip to see Bert at the dive shop.  I didn't take one picture.  I did finish book #3 today.  We had great lobster ceviche for lunch, and tried Anna's new menu item (beef tacos) for dinner.  (Delicious, in case you were wondering!)  Andrew had a big fat nap.  I laid on the couch with Freaky & read.  Oh - that reminds me, I did take a picture of Freaky lounging on the couch with me. It's a hard life for a cat shared by an entire neighborhood here in Caye Caulker.  


Oh, and I itched.  It's day 4 and I am, once again, covered in sand flea bites.  They are particularly bad right now - worse than they were in February.   They are even in the house this time, which they weren't before.  I brought a supply of Benadryl tablets with me, but had to run to the pharmacia to get a histergan cream, too.  Can someone go insane from itching?  How many Benadryl tablets can an adult take in a 24-hour period and still sustain adequate liver health?  Several times today, I thought that insanity or overdose was imminent.  Sadly, neither happened.  Andrew is also covered in bites, but they don't seem to bother him.  In fact, when I point them out to him he seems surprised that they are there and says he doesn't notice them at all.  I hate him. I will not feel badly when the anaconda eats him while I flee. 

The good news is that Bert is going out for a 2-tank dive to Esmeralda tomorrow, and he's got room for us!  Everyone says Esmeralda is one of the best dives.  Lots of nurse sharks and other fish to look at.  We haven't been there, so we're looking forward to it.  Here's a clip, for those interested.  Carter, I will try to get pics of us touching a shark, if we're allowed.  If we're really lucky and one eats Uncle Andrew I will definitely get photos of that, too! :)

  1. Carter has already asked if you have gone swimming with the sharks, he is quite fascinated with your vacations. We will cross our fingers for a shark picture today. No pressure.

  2. Lazy days are a must on holiday! Maybe the itching
    will stop while you are in the water....
