SEAduced made snorkel stops at Hol Chan and Shark Ray Alley on the way to CC. I liked the easy water entry/exit from the back of the catamaran. However, visibility wasn't as good that day as it had been a few days earlier. Instead of the prevailing on-shore breeze from the Caribbean, the wind that day was from the west, which meant if was really HOT on the eastern seafronts of AC and CC.

I'd like to have DandE's frozen custard right here on my home island! Beyond yummy!

What a wonderful getaway that was for me. Took me back and started the longing to be there all over again! Thanks for sharing!

incredible pics Xoe. an amazing number of places are represented in your pictures.....

My hope & intention was to provide specific visual information to future visitors through labeled photos of places they might want to stay or to visit. I also wanted to include residential neighborhoods. Walking through neighborhoods gives me a better sense of place, and I always try to do this when I travel.

Excellent photos, Xoe. Caye Caulker is fabulous, but it looks especially fabulous thanks to your excellent photography. Do you have an e-mail address that I can contact you privately?

Thanks and cheers,

I wish I could expand the caption for one of my photos, but it's complicated and might cause me to lose the ShutterFly URL. So I'll add a note here instead.

Photo #21 shows one of my favorites among the homes I walked by on the beach each morning. My caption is "Fun Art on the Doors!" -- and it is indeed. However, thanks to Marty I now know that the photo shows Casa Escalante, which is situated on six acres and is the home of Jules and Rose Escalante. Two suites in this beautiful property are available to visitors. What a WONDERFUL place that would be to stay -- so I wanted to add that to my trip report!

Xoe - terrific photos. Really got a feel for the Island and the people. Thanks for sharing.

Some of these photos tie into Captjeff's trip report:
Photos #86 and #87 show the new bakery and El Fogon, both mentioned in captjeff's report.

Also, these eateries have been mentioned recently on this board:
Pedro's, Photo #88;
Tabu, Photos #83 and #84;
Fido's Sandbar, Photos #18 and #19.

Sometimes knowing what a place looks like makes it easier to find.

Xoe what great photo's ,you got around and did a lot good for you..talk about living the dream..
