The word of the day is "stingray".


These little buggers are everywhere! I think they must travel in packs. These two are about two feet across. I looked down and there they were, swimming three yards away from me. Very graceful, they are, but when you're not expecting to see anything moving, it's quite a surprise. I took this picture after I landed.

Lots of jellyfish, too, but that's normal. According to the wildlife people down here, our party is trying to single-handedly destroy a colony of loggerhead sea turtles. We left our house lights on and that supposedly confuses the young turtles and they head inland after hatching instead of out to sea. I say it's bad parenting.
