Return to the Lighthouse

All lit upWe had a really nice swim yesterday. The clarity was the best we’ve had so far. We swam over to the turtle grass just off of Boca Catalina and saw a pair of turtles gnawing on the grass. Then there was another just a few feet away, then another…. All in all we spotted five turtles! Quite a collection for the first good day of snorkeling.

Lourdes GrottoWe saw lots of the regular fish, and since we’ve posted many shots of the same fish over and over, I thought we’d cut you guys some slack and not post any shots of fish! We kept our swim short – don’t want to over do it. Still feeling wonky.

We had a nice dinner in and then headed down to San Nicolas to see the famed “Lighthouse” in all its glory. And wow, did it live up to the billing. There are a TON of lights. Lots of people were coming by, and tons of people were wandering around the site. Music was playing, food was being served – it was really festive!

Lourdes GrottoThe Lourdes Grotto was also lit up, but not quite as many lights as at the Light House. Still, pretty impressive display there as well. I really like the way they have covered the tree trunks in lights. Really sets off the displays. I’ll have to steal that idea next year on our display!

We have a movie, but the internet connection is not great here, and I’m struggling trying to get it uploaded – if it ever does, it will show up at the bottom of this post!
