Yep Still Here in Utila, Honduras

I’ve been having so much fun, thanks to my friends on the island, it’s hard to find time to keep the blog updated.  Here are some pictures of Jade Seahorsethe bar (which is built in a tree) and restaurant called Jade Seahorse. It is an amazing work of IMG_0940art and unfortunately the pictures do not capture the beauty and handiwork. I am told the owner/artist has been creating this for years.  It’s made up things such as bottles, pieces of broken glass, stones, and tiles. A place definitely worth seeing two times, during the day and the night!

Most days after diving in the afternoon, a quick shower then a sprint to catch yet another spectacular sunset at one of the many bars built on the end of a dock. My favorite, and not because I adore the owner who was gracious enough to invite me to her dinner party last night, Tranquila Bar or as the locals call it Tranqs. I like it because Edo the bartender is so nice and it’s a comfortable place to hang with a great view. Tequila Tuesdays it gets packed way after the sun goes down and the party doesn’t stop until about 4am.

I finally decided on my next move, it wasn’t easy I could have been fine hanging here for the next few months!! Sunday I am going to Cayos Cochinos. The trip is a bit pricey ( I am trying to stick to a self imposed budget) because it’s a marine reserve and there is only really one hotel to stay. It’s called Turtle Bay Eco Resort I will definitely let you know if it’s worth overnighting or a day trip. The manager has been very helpful so I have high hopes.  I hear it is really beautiful so fingers crossed since I will be spending 3 nights there.
