Holiday!

Ariana the Awesome came to visit us here on Utila. She's been enjoying roughing it in Cuero y Salado and was sad to come to our little island paradise for a few days. Doesn't she look sad to be here?




In honor of her visit, we decided to take a beach holiday. Understandably, Amy and I haven't had much of an urge to spend time on any beach during the day. However, we are discovering that the beaches here are beautiful.
Amy's attempt at photo bombing was thwarted by my snorkel.

A grand holiday.




We may just be living in paradise.
Ariana found treasure on the bottom of the sea.
Frozen peach ice teas--the best thing a dollar can buy.
Catching a tuk-tuk back to the apartment--a treat for our holiday (normally we walk up the hill).
Main Street Utila.
The beach is much more fun during the day, at least when no turtles are present. And having Ariana come for a visit just makes things so much better!

  1. What is Ariana drinking out of the bag in the penultimate picture? I'm intrigued.
    Also, major respect points for not getting sunburned.

    1. She's drinking a peanut butter milkshake. Down here, if you get a drink to go, they put it in a bag for you. They're fun to drink, but difficult to put down!

  2. That's the perfect color of snorkeling water! :)

    1. It is beautiful! And there are lots of little fish to see out in the turtle grass beds. Unfortunately, they are a little camera shy. :)
