Under Akumal Bay and Above

Nearly a week into our vacation, and we have yet to spot a sea turtle. 


We've seen all kinds of tropical fish. I came across a stingray quite by accident, having swum right over it and not seeing it right away because it was perfectly camouflaged to the colour and texture of the sand upon which it lay. It was only when I cast a shadow upon it that it started to move, afraid that I was about to make it my lunch.

I've also spotted a yellow starfish, also while swimming a straight line and noticing it at the last moment. And there was a manta ray that came close to shore, not far from where we were sunning, and I was able to get quite close to it, in knee-deep water.

But no sea turtles. Not yet.

We did meet Julia Roberts, though, who was having dinner at the table next to us, one evening. 

Sort of. Not really.

It was a Julia. She was from Montreal. And her husband was named Robert. So not Julia Roberts, but Julia and Robert.

Our vacation continues.
