Got a Turniff Reef trip this morning.

I I I I Misspelled orchid in the last post but will make it up tomorrow with a shot of a fuzzy orchid that Kay is growing around and in the jungle that surrounds her house. The house is to your left and I sit in the afternoon on the upstairs porch and watch birds who fly around in the trees. The beach above is in front of her house and shows some very blue sky and sea. I think my next stop, Placencia, is not as developed. I saw a Black Catbird and two kinds of oriels today along with pelicans, terns, friget birds, and woodpeckers.
On the way back from the downtown today I passed a shop which had several regular looking cacti when upon taking a closer I spotted a large bloom with several struggling flies in it. It reminded me of Audra in Little Shop of Horrors.
A weird thing happened about my dive later this morning. I visited Amigo Drive Shop, my regular dive shop I'm in San Pedro, and tried to get a dive to Turniff Reef and because it's a big dive and most people want to go to the Blue Hole, I've been three times, they couldn't make up the trip. I booked a two tank dive for some close dive spots but gave the girl the wrong pier for the boat to pick me up for the dive. When I called back to correct the pier she was excited to have found a trip that a couple of other dive shops were putting together for Turniff. I'm going!!!! I'll tell you all about it when I get back.
I also saw Elizabeth who designs that beautiful silver jewlery that I wear and she invited me to a drumming in for the full moon being held up the Island. I need some welcome full moon chants if anyone has any to send. Should be fun especially because the whale sharks come in after the full moon to feed. That's another story.
For my friends who live in the desert I will keep the green scenery coming. For all my friends all over the world, everyone is watching Louisiana's demise from heavy crude. The people of Belize voted down offshore drilling last week by a 75% majority.
Good night. The music has stopped from up the beach so maybe I can get a few hours sleep.
