Day Seven: Friday, February 13th

 This was our last big day. I had fought off a respiratory cough all week but finally decided to go to the clinic in Placencia and get some help. It was a beautifully clean clinic. I got in after a bit, got prednizone for inflamed bronchi and cough syrup. that helped get me through last day of fun. 

We went to the Bohemian for happy hour and music. This is an outside venue overlooking the ocean. The music was a group of expats that played easy music. We did do some dancing but I got winded easily. 

All in all, it was a great trip:)

Monday Day Three: Feb. 9th

 This was my snorkle day. The weather was wet and rainy and cold! I went to their UNESCO National Park: Laughing Bird Caye National Park. We had a guide in the water with us, pointing out fish and choral as we snorkeled. There were also two other guides with us as well. There were a family of four, two women traveling together and another couple. The two women stayed close to me and helped me with my fins and kept me on track when I strayed from the group. We had lunch on the caye of one of the island's signature dishes: stewed chicken, beans and rice and pasta salad. then we went back in the water for a second trip. The snorkeling itself was fun but the ride back was so very cold. Thank goodness for the wetsuits and the towels we wrapped around ourselves. I got sick from this trip, a sinus infection affair but I'm feeling a lot better as I write this on Thursday! I used a saline rinse and sudafed which really really helped. That and a lot of sleep the last couple of nights.  ...

Wednesday Day Five: February 11th

 Today was Monkey River Jungle Tour. We went about 40 minutes to the River, then meandered through the river, took a short little walk through the jungle examining different flora/fauna. Our guide described the medicinal purpose of each plant. We did see howler monkeys up high in the canopy. We went to the village, had lunch of stewed chicken rice and beans. A fun day.  We ended at Sterlings Restaurant, my favorite restaurant. The service was personable with Carlos. We sat out on a veranda. I had the seafood platter, more than I could eat. Marg and Sandy split a steak that was very tender, more than they could eat too. It was on the next street over, which I haven't really explored we are going to do that Thursday.
