Intro to tropical paradise

I am writing this while sitting on the balcony patio of my spacious condo-like beachfront cabana room at Hamanasi Resort in Belize. I’m about 100 feet from the Caribbean Sea, whose waves produce a sound so soothing that it’s caused me to fall asleep on the beach on two separate occasions.

It’s really quite wonderful here. The temperature has been hovering between about 75 and 90, with 100% humidity, which somehow doesn’t seem as oppressive in a tropical location as it does back at home. The ocean breezes cool everything down. I’ve been wearing my swimsuit all week, just in case I want to go in the water.

So far I’ve been snorkeling and Doc has been diving twice, and we did a very strenuous hike up a mountain yesterday. We’re having a great time with our friends, and have even made some new ones.

I am writing down our adventures in detail, which I will edit and post when I return to reality in a few days, and I’ll also post my photos to Flickr.
