Well, it's been quite a long time since I wrote a new post. Mainly because, my internship was the same thing everyday, so no need to write a post about the same thing.
I have now completed my divemaster internship and... Am a divemaster!which is the first step into professional diving. It was an interesting experience, but overall a great one. I love my fellow interns, and really enjoyed our little mahahual family. Good luck to all of you in what you do, and I hope we all can reunite again!!
After the internship was over, Jamie and I went to Tulum for a couple days. Tulum is a really cute town, kind of like a mini bellingham but with less to do. During our time there, we rented snorkel gear and went snorkeling with our buddies Risky and Sven. Akumal is famous for it's beautiful beaches but most importantly because of the sea turtles coming back to their natal beach to lay their eggs every year! One trip out, we saw four turtles. I'm not talking about during a span of thirty minutes, but literally in one area. There were three big ones and one little guy. They are such beautiful creatures and they didn't even pay any attention to us. Too busy munching on seagrass.
After tulum, we spent the rest of our week in Playa del Carmen. Where we all started our journey six months ago. Lots of lounging around, beaching, pool, and beers/mojitos. It was an amazing final week in Mexico, and it was just what I needed. It's amazing how Mexico has really come to feel like home. (minus I still can't speak Spanish, oops!!)
Today marks the end of my Mexican journey, and I couldn't have asked for a better time. This has been the best six months of my life, and I've learned and experienced so much. This is a time in my life that I'll always treasure. Thanks to all the great friendships I've made here, I love you guys and I hope we all can be together again!
Remember, if things don't work out, we can always be treasure hunters! ;)
