After another good lights sleep (thank heavens for the air conditioned bedrooms) and a hearty breakfast it was time to head to the beach. We were actually on the road today by 10:30am!!! Today we would explore Play Lagun Beach, located about 20 minutes from our house.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

A great little inlet or ‘boca’ with nice shelves and steep sides with lots of structure . . . good for snorkeling and seeing LOTS of fish!!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

emJay makes her way into the ocean . . .<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

. . . it’s always awkward getting into the water with your fins and mask bouncing around in the waves, but once you are in the water its like the movements of a fine dancer . . .<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

. . . white puffer fish\"\"<\/p>\n

There were divers below us coming in from their dive and it was fun to watch them\u00a0 . . .<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

. . . before one knew it it was time for a little lunchy,\u00a0 served in the restaurant located high on one of the boca’s cliffs.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Once of the standards for lunch seems to be grilled panni type sandwiches with fries, which\u00a0 I think that were fried in lard. Today’s sandwich special, ham, cheese and pineapple chunks . . . YUM!!!! Who could say no!!!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

. . . plenty of time for relaxing and reading.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

. . . as well as chatting with some of the natives!!!!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

. . . back in the water after lunch where there seemed to be . . .<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

. . . a whole different changing of the guard as far as fish types . . .<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

emJay, the marine biologist!!!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Soon it was time to head home, shower, clean up the gear, have a round of Blue Lagoons and head out for tonight’s dinner. Along the way we passed by Williburger, a place we are determined to visit before we leave the island . . .<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

. . .\u00a0 home of the goat burger. There was a herd of goats and sheep, grazing right down the road, and we wondered if they would be appearing on the menu soon!!! . . .<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

. . . and the place rivaled Hollywood in popularity!!!!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

. . . but tonight we would be heading to the Coral Reef Resort for dinner where we walked along the nicely appointed grounds of the resort including their infinity pool . . .<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

. . . nice views from their veranda as the sun set. Missed the green flash TONIGHT!!!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Soon we were seated in their beach side, Karakter Restaurant.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Nice setting for a great meal . . .<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

. . . starting with a nice little amuse-bouche from the chef . . .<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

. . . a caprese salad . . .<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

. . . and a nice tenderloin, medium rare, with mashed sweet potatoes and a creamy cheese mushroom sauce . . .<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

. . . Charlie was even able to order a bread course. As he says, ‘ . . . a good bread stands on it’s own<\/em>!’<\/em><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Great memories of a wonderful night . . .<\/p>\n

\"\". . . topped off with a two nice lava cakes alongside French vanilla ice cream and a berry coulis. Each couple shared one . . .<\/p>\n

Not in bed until 11:00pm tonight. Sweet dreams!!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
