Palau - Eat, Sleep & Dive!!

That's pretty much what we've been doing for the last week. Palau is a "must do" under water playground for all you diving enthusiasts. With 4-5 dives per day, we saw everything from schooling barracuda to sea turtles, leaf fish and stingless jelly fish . We even spotted the mantas that we missed in Yap (unfortunately a little too far away for a photo op). We'll let the pictures do the talking. Out of our 2 weeks in Palau, the first was spent on land in Koror (A huge thanks to Junior Aten for letting us crash at your place and truck use and to Rose Kohama for your huge help while we were land based). We visited the nearby Ngardmau Water Falls and did an overnight kayaking camping trip on one of the many deserted beaches in the Rock Islands. The second week was on the Palau Aggressor live-a-board dive boat. We're off to Tokyo tonight (Sunday 10/9). Hope you are all doing well! We were also able to include a few photos from Yap that didn't make it onto our last posting.
