Another great day!!!

Despite some drizzles on and off all morning and into the afternoon, we had yet another amazing day. Today we started off with the dolphin encounter - meeting and greeting some dolphins up close and personal, and then getting a chance to snorkel and play with them. After that, we headed by boat for about a 40 minute trip to Osgood Key which is located near the airport on the southern side of Roatan. On our way we stopped to dive/snorkel on a "fringing reef" (opposed to the barrier reefs we've been diving to the north). At Osgood Key, we had lunch and observed a few exotic animals they take care of on the key. We left Osgood, headed back for the resort, and stopped for yet another dive into the warm water. We then caught a gogreous sunset, at dinner, and headed out for a night snorkel. Those pics will come soon... but enjoy these for now! :)
