One of my favorite activities here is swimming at sunset. Last night, the sea was fairly calm, no waves crashing. I was standing in about 4-5 feet of water, when suddenly I heard a splash behind me. I looked, but saw nothing. I kept watching, and after a few minutes I saw a large curved mass arcing through the surface of the water. It was clearly the back of some creature, but it was moving too slowly to be a dolphin. Then I realized, I was swimming with a manatee! I had seen one from shore several weeks ago, and it is well-known that they swim here. Hoping to see it again, I swam closer, but apparently it had decided to return to its solitude.
Today, I am attending an all-day educational workshop at the hospital on HIV and tuberculosis. I look forward to finding out how these subjects are addressed here in Belize.

Tina,
I continue to be amazed by the experiences you are having in Belize. Here in central NY, it is another cold gray day, but the image of you swimming at sunset with a manatee is enough to break me out of my mid-November blahs. Thanks so much for sharing your thoughts with us!
Much love,
Geoff
