Pictures...

So true to Paul's last blog...here are pictures from the iguana farm...First greeter as you go up the steps to the iguana farm...
He enjoyed playing with Paul's cane...and his tail was VERY sneaky and strong when grabbing it! He even tried to grab the camera once with his tail until I got wise to his long reach!
Isn't he cute?Not sure if this guy would be considered cute!
There are certainly a lot of them at this place. Apparently the green iguana had been considered endangered because people ate them.
Not here though...
There seems to be plenty of them here...
Thankfully, they are vegetarians, so they were not after Paul's ankles...just the leaf that he had...
They certainly were not shy...
These were in a small pond too...they were a lot bigger than the one that I use to have when I was a kid!!
Back to the Fantasy Island Marina...and these little guys that are everywhere...
This is one of Paul's favorites...
It is a small marina...mostly built around the hotel/restaurant/dive shop...
Sunrise....
The calm before the storm....oh...did I mention that there is a northerly right now? Gusts over 30 knots...Outside the restaurant...
Paul discussing not sharing the banana bread (in his hand) with these two geese... Sunset over Roatan with the Lady H side-tied to the Fantasy Island Marina...
Dingy dock is inbetween these shrimp boats! Then a walk up a dirt road...to a great grocery store!
The homes across from the shrimp boat docks....
And, a morning dive to Mary's Place...calm morning before the storm came...seahorse...
Mary's Place is know for it's crevice diving...
Barrell sponges...
Lot's of this fan coral...
With Paul's claustrophobia...I almost expected him to dart out of these crevices...but he did very well!
Pillar coral...
More pillar coral....
And, staghorn fire coral...synopsis of the entire dive?? Visability not the greatest...not a lot of fish...so while it was GREAT to be in/under the water again...call me a scuba snob!!!
