Heather and I decided to take a SCUBA trip down to the Caribbean Sea since it had been a while since we had last had our gills wet. We found a nice liveaboard dive charter that starts out in St Kitts, goes through Saba, and then ends up in St Maarten. We flew from Colorado down to St Kitts and stayed in the Bird Rock Beach Hotel the first night to wait for our boat.
After checking into the hotel, we decided to walk back to downtown Basseterre to check out the town.
Evan and me headed down the Rio Dulce to the town of Livingston. We passed a bird rookery on an island in the middle of the river. There were lots of birds in the trees making quite a squawk.

A stop-off at a hot spring at the edge of the river.
Evan tried out the hot water.
Then we visited a cavern up the hill.
It was very hot inside.
