above: here I am in front of the little house we stayed in on the island of Borocay, the one vacation we took during the summer. It's a tiny island...but a resort paradise..lots of beautiful clear blue water..I also got my PADI scuba diving license while I was here. That is, I had already taken the classroom portion back in the USA but still needed to do the "open dive" exam...and managed to do it here..and got my padi license in the mail when I returned..also enjoyed some incredible diving .
