2006 and before

---

Ok where to start.... I guess the biggest change for me in 2006 was switching jobs. I still work at the same resort, Ocotal Beach Resort, but I have now taken on the responsibility of being the resorts environmental consultant. Pretty much my job is to assist the resort in making appropriate changes towards becoming more sustainable. It's a bit boring for me sitting in an office, but I do get to help make lots of positive changes for the environment and community. I still help out in diving when they are busy so that helps get me out of the office and back in the water.

Other than that, not too much else is new around here. I have posted some pictures from throughout the past years. Whenever something interesting happens, if I take a trip or If I have some neat photos and stories to share I will add a new blog about it. If you are interested in being notified when I have made an update, please feel free to subscribe and you will be sent an e-mail that tells you I have updated the page.

I don't mean for this to replace keeping in touch with me via e-mail, but this will allow me to share photos and stories with everyone without sending giant bulk e-mails. Please still keep in touch with me through e-mail as I love hearing from each of you! I also hope to keep in touch a bit more often now that I have more access to the internet.

I hope that everyone has a wonderful end to 2006 and who knows, maybe I'll see you somewhere in 2007...

Hugs!
Tanya

Tree Fence
Fences are made by breaking off a branch from a tree and then replanting it. The branch will then grow new roots and become a new tree.

One of the most amazing places in the world! Diving with hundreds of sharks, giant 5 ft. hunting tunas and playing with wild dolphins. This place reminds you what it's like to be alive!

A visa renewal trip with Bettina and some guy we shared a taxi with. The taxi would only take us part way to the beach/camping spot because of a bad road. It wasn't a long walk. On the trip back, a different taxi needed to get towed out.
