When we sold our house and stuff to travel for a year, we went to Europe. It’s the place we know best after the United States.

As the raft bounced and bobbed through the umpteenth rapid of the day, I suddenly found myself in the air, then in the water beside the boat, then under the boat and popping up on the other side. My brother, Scott, leaned over the gunnels, grabbed my PFD and pulled me back in, saying, ”You …
As Chocolate poles his boat through the water around Swallow Caye a doughy manatee nose suddenly pokes through the water next to the boat. These are the creatures that sailors once mistook for mermaids? They’re cute, but hardly sexy. Lionel ”Chocolate” Heredia has been guiding manatee tours since 1968, but his enthusiasm for these animals …
