Paradise Found

St. John, US Virgin Islands. Arguably the best snorkeling in the world. We saw octopus, a huge lobster, sea turtles, eels, barracuda, hundreds of  kinds of tropical fish and huge coral. Fun, fun, fun!



Sorry about the light in this picture. The turtles are a bit deeper and the water was not as clear as usual because of storms. This trip I was actually able to dive this deep snorkeling also and I have to admit I am proud of myself. You can get right by the turtles and  touch their shell. This particular snorkel we saw a total of 6 in one bay.




There was some water on my camera lens, but I had to include this picture because we had this beach all to ourselves for the afternoon. It rained a bit and the 3 or 4 other people there left. Sky cleared up again and it was beautiful!




Yeah for vacations!
