As it was our last weekend here in San Pedro, we had to make the most of every opportunity. We started by going parasailing- my first time ever! We met someone from North Carolina who owns one of the "adventure companies" down here and so a whole group of us got to go out for the day. That is a relaxing thing to do and not at all strenuous- I mean we don't want to overdo it! While I was above the turquoise water and seeing the whole Caribbean Sea, we spotted sea turtles and stingrays. Beautiful!
What a better way to close the day than by performing in the Miss San Pedro High School pageant?! Of course we got asked to perform and share some of our "culture" with the people of San Pedro. We did shag dancing to “Carolina Girl,” a line dance to “Country Boys and Girls Getting Down on the Farm,” and a hip hop dance to “North Carolina” by Petey Pablo. It was the perfect “representation of our culture.” Everyone cheered us on and laughed with us.
The next day, as if we hadn’t had enough fun, we went on a catamaran for the day. Our entire group and a few close friends from here in San Pedro went to Hol Chan Marine Reserve where we swam with fish, turtles, eels, and of course in the coral reef. It is one of the breaks in the reef and absolutely beautiful! After that we sailed over to Shark Ray Alley. As you can imagine there were plenty of sharks and stingrays. That adventure didn’t last too long in the water with sharks all around us! We then sailed over to Caye Caulker for lunch and shopping. It was spectacular! While we were sailing dolphins came and guided us back home! The boat rocking and sun on my skin put me right to sleep as we glided back to San Pedro. Manellys to finish the day and it was perfect. I am going to miss this place!
