Ok so basically Panterra rocked right from the word vamonos!  On the third day, we woke up feeling absolutely fantabulous! First of all, we had an awesome breakfast compliments of the amazing cooks. Then we chillaxed before heading to shore for a nature hike. 

On the nature hike we saw lots of cool and exciting things. Like these, HUMONGOUS rocks that were insanely big, a bunch of different cacti, and beautiful scenery. It was super hot so LUCKILY we all had our handy dandy trusty sunscreen. Good news though from the super duper island of Mexico, nobody got heat stroke…yet…once the long walk was done we came back and in a matter of minutes we were off again but this time to snorkel. 

After a quick safety talk we were all underwater checking out the sea life. We saw lots of cool little fishies that were all different kinds of colours, shapes, and sizes (don’t worry, no sharks
J). 

We were all starving (especially Bailey) so we grabbed all our gear and headed back to the boat. We had wicked cool tacos for lunch (ooh Mr. Paperclip has a light bulb! I wonder what he’s thinking?) Which was awesome and it tasted like, so totally uber good (turns out he just wanted to talk to us about spelling… we told him to get a job). It’s been pretty windy the few days we’ve been here but were keeping our chins up because anything is better then our first attempt to get down here! (Which was totally worth it, though it was l5 hours, LIKE SERIOUSLY COME ON, 15 HOURS!?!) the wind is kind of cool because it makes the sea all wavy and what not so we all go to the front of the boat and surf the waves without getting wet
J. Even though the wind puts us back in some of our adventures we all have a great time just playing chess, cards, dice in cup, Super Tournament of Dice (ask for details), scrabble, and getting to know each other better.

Earlier we were jumping off the boat (look around the site there’s probably pictures some place) it was crazy but it was totally fetch. 

We had a superior dinner of lasagne with cake for dessert. The funniest thing ever was after we (Kaitlyn and Bailey [your writers here]) paid Jimmy (Nicholson), which is also very cool, a Canadian dollar for every olive he ate! He had never eaten them before, and the faces he made were beyond hilarious! (He only ended up eating 13 olives, but we paid him 15 dollars just for the entertainment, and because of how cool he is). Justin caught two puffer fish (one today one yesterday) and when Mr. Martin held the one he screamed and now none of us will let him live that down. 

We are happy to announce that Kristy is no longer sea sick, Tai felt sick after supper but took some gravol and is as good as ever, and Corey is still trying to beat Mr. Martin at chess, Geoff has chocolate, so he’s still our friend, Jimmy has yet to shower, Justin’s life is fishing, Pam finished her book (yay), Joel just sits there and makes fun of us, and is cool, Becky just winked at us, Lindsay was not impressed when we told her that fetch is a word, Britney has a band-aid, she’s toughing it out, Michelle has some raccoon eyes but she’s working on getting rid of them, Brittany, well, we can’t find her right now, today we found out Stephen is an exceptional rock climber, and us, Kaitlyn thinks we are superbly amazing, and Bailey kind of agrees. 

This has been your third day report, hope there’s enough info.

Kaitlyn and Bailey out!
