Do you suppose San Pedro knew St. Patrick?

The ferry to San Pedro.

Our new digs - Sunbreeze Suites.


Morning commute.

Dinner at Pinnochio's.
By all accounts it was a great day snokeling. The kids woke up reasonably early for their first day with a legitimate "sleep-in" and spent the morning souvenir shopping, getting hair braided and generally looking around. After lunch the group met for snorkeling, and despite the wind, conditions out at the reef were excellent. A couple of us were feeling under the weather and didn't join the group, but may give it a go tomorrow. Reports are that there were unbelievable sea turtle sightings, as well as a serious-looking moray eel, a bunch of jacks and numerous other fish. As Caleb said, "The sharks were bigger than I remembered..." - but he survived.  I'll try to post some underwater video footage later, so watch the links list.

We had dinner tonight at Pinocchio's Pizza to celebrate Nat, Colleen and Owen's last night, though we haven't managed a birthday cake for Katie yet so will get to that tomorrow.

It's St. Patrick's Day here, and not my favorite night on the island - Matt will stay with the students and all will be back in by early curfew. They've been so good about getting decent sleep and have shown excellent judgment so far, so I'm not at all concerned. Nonetheless, March 18 brings the loss of 3 in our group as well as the back end of St. Patrick - a little positive with the negative!

More multimedia later ....
