Levi's Loquaciousness, Vol. 2




    The past month has been fun. We've been hanging out on and around Isla Carmen for the past month or so and have been just having a blast. I mean, how can you go wrong with an island that looks like a giant came along with a big can of paint and splashed the whole island with it? One of the anchorages is even called Painted Cliffs--how much more obvious can you get? There's also plenty of sea caves to explore all over the island, but most of them are on the western side of the island. We are currently in Puerto Escondido taking care of some visa stuff and hope to get out of here by Tuesday, then we plan to start making the trek up to San Carlos where we hope to spend the summer.

   On a different note, it's not as boring as you might think. The marina is letting us come in for more than just the stuff we really need. No, they are letting us use the pool, - yes there is is a pool - go into Loreto when we need to, - hence why we're here - and best of all, we have some friends here as well, Tulum V and Xpression. Oh yes almost forgot, I've now got a few things checked off my to do list: 1) I have now seen mobula rays almost land in our dinghy; 2) I've seen dolphins jumping ten feet out of the water while doing a flip (not kidding!); 3) I've swam with a whale shark. Wow they are big fish! Well I should wrap this up. Mom is asking for the computer and most likely shouldn't keep her waiting. 

                                           This is Levi signing for now, so long!

A taste of our wild life


Inside a sea cave on Isla Carmen.
     When I first started this blog almost five years ago, I admit I had rosy visions, colored greatly by other blogs I had seen. I was going to be this great regular poster, with beautiful photos of the places we visited, enhanced by my picturesque descriptions. People would leave comments, ask questions, and somehow all kinds of people would know who we were and what we were doing.... **And cue hysterical laughter and eye-rolling at my own naivete.**
