I KNOW I'VE BEEN SLACKING

SORRY I HAVEN'T WRITTEN IN A WHILE.
THE FRIDAY AFTER LAUREN LEFT WAS INDEPENDANCE DAY HERE AND THERE WAS ALSO A BIG FISHING COMPETITION. THEY WERE FISHING FOR MARLIN AND I THINK THE WINNER WAS LIKE 220 lbs. THEY HUNG THEM UP ON THE STREET FOR EVERYONE TO SEE AND IT WAS SAD BUT THE FISH WERE HUGE! PEOPLE SET UP FOOD STANDS ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND WE HAD THE BEST FOOD. THERE WAS ALSO A "PARADE" WHICH CONSISTED OF 3 DECORATED TRUCKS, MAYBE 4 GROUPS OF KIDS DRESSED UP AND A FLOAT WITH MISS WEST END ON IT. WE ALL SAT OUTSIDE THE DIVESHOP AND WATCHED AND I THINK IT LASTED FOR ABOUT 3 MINUTES.
I HAVE LED 2 DIVES, IT WAS JUST WITH ALEX BUT IT WAS GOOD PRACTICE FOR MY NAVIGATION, AND I MADE IT BACK TO THE BOAT BOTH TIMES!!! THE OTHER DMT, STEPHANIE AND I DOVE TOGTHER AND IT WAS THE FIRST TIME I WAS ON MY OWN WITHOUT AN INSTRUCTOR. I AM WORKING ON MAPPING A DIVE SITE BUT HAVE ONLY BEEN OUT ONCE TO START THE PROCESS AND THINK I WILL NEED AT LEAST 3 OR 4 MORE TIMES BECAUSE IT HAS ALL THESE CAVES AND SWIM THROUGHS WHICH MAKES IT FUN TO EXPLORE BUT HARD TO MAP.
JESSI GOT A SCOOTER SO WE WENT TO WEST BAY FOR DINNER THE OTHER NIGHT AND THAT WAS NICE TO GO SOMEWHERE DIFFERENT. IT'S ALSO JUST AN EXPERIENCE RIDING ON IT WITH HER, WE LAUGH THE WHOLE TIME. IT'S FUN.
I AM MOVING AGAIN!!!
MY FRIEND CAMERON WHO LIVES WITH ALEX IS LEAVING IN A WEEK AND I AM MOVING INTO CAM'S OLD ROOM. I LIKE MY PLACE BUT I AM NEVER HOME AND I CAN SAVE $160. SO ONE MORE MOVE IN ROATAN AND THEN I WILL BE MOVING ON TO THE NEXT PLACE.
I HAVE AN EAR INFECTION RIGHT NOW WHICH REALLY SUCK BECAUSE NOT ONLY DO I FEEL CRAPPY BUT I CAN'T DIVE. I WENT TO THE DOCTOR YESTURDAY AND HE GAVE ME ANTIBIOTICS AND EAR DROPS AND WANTS ME TO COME BACK ON MONDAY. MY VISIT INCLUDING THE MEDICINE COST $19!!!!
THE MEDICAL CLINIC IS AT ANTHONY'S KEY RESORT (WHERE WE DID THE DOLPHIN THING) AND IT HAS A HYPERBARIC CHAMBER THERE AND IT IT RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF THE WAITING ROOM!!! WHEN I WAS THERE THEY BROUGHT IN 4 LOBSTER FISHERMAN 2 THAT COULD BARELY WALK AND 2 THAT COULDN'T WALK AT ALL. THEY ALL 4 WERE PUT IN THE CHAMBER. I ASKED THE DOCTOR WHAT HAPPENED AND HE SAID THEY DIVE WAY TOO DEEP AND DO UP TO 12 DIVES A DAY.
IT'S CRAZY AND THEN I FOUND OUT THAT THEY ARE IN THERE ALL THE TIME. I GUESS THAT'S HOW THEY MAKE THEIR MONEY AND THEY DON'T KNOW ANY BETTER.
NOT MUCH ELSE IS GOING ON HERE. I THINK I WILL BE HERE FOR ANOTHER MONTH AND THEN TO SEATTLE TO VISIT MY AUNT AND MY MOM WILL MEET ME OUT THERE AND THEN OFF TO THE NEXT PLACE. I WILL LET YOU KNOW WHEN I FIGURE OUT WHERE THAT WILL BE.
