Take that, hurricane!

I'm back from Mexico, with tan lines, mosquito bites, and a newfound appreciation for dry clothing. Hurrican Ivan precluded our last four dives, but otherwise the reef time was outstanding. I swam with a shark, a 7' eel, some barracuda, and gazillions of fish. Oh, and across the street from our hotel was one of those exploitative aquariums that corrals dolphins so tourists can swim with them. We sneered at it every time we walked by. However, apparently their tanks aren't hurricane proof, so they carted the animals over to our hotel pool for safe harbor during the storm. Yes, we had 12 DOLPHINS IN THE HOTEL POOL. Beat that. Pictures and stories to resume here shortly.

Thanks to Alan for guest hosting while I was gone.
