Having survived the disappearance of the sunglasses and the need to get up at an immorally early hour to leave the house at 515, we said goodbye to Ben who was none too clear ../../../Sabbat/2011/01.03-18.11Vieques//P1060066 and welcomed the Kramers and Justs who arrived in the dark ../../../Sabbat/2011/01.03-18.11Vieques//P1060067 as we headed to Philadelphia airport and a parking space in section W2. ../../../Sabbat/2011/01.03-18.11Vieques//P1060068 ../../../Sabbat/2011/01.03-18.11Vieques//P1060069 The plane boarded quickly and so our only food were these bars ../../../Sabbat/2011/01.03-18.11Vieques//P1060070 which fit well with the book I was reading ../../../Sabbat/2011/01.03-18.11Vieques//P1060071 and these drinks of airplane coffee ../../../Sabbat/2011/01.03-18.11Vieques//P1060072 and diet coke, neither of which could satisfy a needed caffeine addiction or an effort to overcome the effects of little sleep ../../../Sabbat/2011/01.03-18.11Vieques//P1060073 but 4 hours quickly passed and we found ourselves landing in San Juan ../../../Sabbat/2011/01.03-18.11Vieques//P1060074 ../../../Sabbat/2011/01.03-18.11Vieques//P1060075 where we were greeted by the Justs ../../../Sabbat/2011/01.03-18.11Vieques//P1060076 as the Kramers slowly disembarked ../../../Sabbat/2011/01.03-18.11Vieques//P1060077 and we made our way through the airport ../../../Sabbat/2011/01.03-18.11Vieques//P1060078 to this food stand ../../../Sabbat/2011/01.03-18.11Vieques//P1060079 and then downstairs for the wait for Cape Air as Peter rested on one pole ../../../Sabbat/2011/01.03-18.11Vieques//P1060080 as Sara watched ../../../Sabbat/2011/01.03-18.11Vieques//P1060081 and Steven (look carefully) rested on another. ../../../Sabbat/2011/01.03-18.11Vieques//P1060082 We were led to our plane ../../../Sabbat/2011/01.03-18.11Vieques//P1060083 ../../../Sabbat/2011/01.03-18.11Vieques//P1060084 and boarded ../../../Sabbat/2011/01.03-18.11Vieques//P1060085 ass we enjoyed the scenery ../../../Sabbat/2011/01.03-18.11Vieques//P1060086 and Sara wondered what her first ride in a small plane would entail ../../../Sabbat/2011/01.03-18.11Vieques//P1060087 but we slowly left this plane in the dust ../../../Sabbat/2011/01.03-18.11Vieques//P1060088 as we flew over land ../../../Sabbat/2011/01.03-18.11Vieques//P1060089 ../../../Sabbat/2011/01.03-18.11Vieques//P1060090 and sea ../../../Sabbat/2011/01.03-18.11Vieques//P1060091 ../../../Sabbat/2011/01.03-18.11Vieques//P1060092 ../../../Sabbat/2011/01.03-18.11Vieques//P1060093 until the pilot found the runway ../../../Sabbat/2011/01.03-18.11Vieques//P1060094 and brought us down ../../../Sabbat/2011/01.03-18.11Vieques//P1060095 which pleased Sara ../../../Sabbat/2011/01.03-18.11Vieques//P1060096 as the group posed with Glen, the pilot ../../../Sabbat/2011/01.03-18.11Vieques//P1060097 ../../../Sabbat/2011/01.03-18.11Vieques//P1060098 ../../../Sabbat/2011/01.03-18.11Vieques//P1060099 and then I did so that we could all remember the way we were when we landed on Vieques. ../../../Sabbat/2011/01.03-18.11Vieques//P1060100 On the other side of the airport, we met Thom who posed with Suzanne ../../../Sabbat/2011/01.03-18.11Vieques//P1060101 and then with his sidekick Alberto ../../../Sabbat/2011/01.03-18.11Vieques//P1060102 as we made our way to the car rental place ../../../Sabbat/2011/01.03-18.11Vieques//P1060103 where these cars ../../../Sabbat/2011/01.03-18.11Vieques//P1060104 came to us from Joey at Vieques Car rental. ../../../Sabbat/2011/01.03-18.11Vieques//P1060105 After a stop at the fruit stand ../../../Sabbat/2011/01.03-18.11Vieques//P1060106 ../../../Sabbat/2011/01.03-18.11Vieques//P1060107 ../../../Sabbat/2011/01.03-18.11Vieques//P1060108 ../../../Sabbat/2011/01.03-18.11Vieques//P1060109 where I admired cabbage ../../../Sabbat/2011/01.03-18.11Vieques//P1060110 bananas -- yellow ../../../Sabbat/2011/01.03-18.11Vieques//P1060111 and green -- ../../../Sabbat/2011/01.03-18.11Vieques//P1060112 various fruits ../../../Sabbat/2011/01.03-18.11Vieques//P1060113 cantaloupes ../../../Sabbat/2011/01.03-18.11Vieques//P1060114 yams (or maybe something local) ../../../Sabbat/2011/01.03-18.11Vieques//P1060115 another unknown vegetable ../../../Sabbat/2011/01.03-18.11Vieques//P1060116 and tomatoes and red peppers ../../../Sabbat/2011/01.03-18.11Vieques//P1060117 before we drove up the driveway ../../../Sabbat/2011/01.03-18.11Vieques//P1060118 to our house where the sunset was reflected in the pool ../../../Sabbat/2011/01.03-18.11Vieques//P1060119 and seen in the sky ../../../Sabbat/2011/01.03-18.11Vieques//P1060120 ../../../Sabbat/2011/01.03-18.11Vieques//P1060121 as we say pool ../../../Sabbat/2011/01.03-18.11Vieques//P1060122 ../../../Sabbat/2011/01.03-18.11Vieques//P1060123 broad view ../../../Sabbat/2011/01.03-18.11Vieques//P1060124 sky ../../../Sabbat/2011/01.03-18.11Vieques//P1060125 ../../../Sabbat/2011/01.03-18.11Vieques//P1060126 and moon ../../../Sabbat/2011/01.03-18.11Vieques//P1060127 before the setting sun ../../../Sabbat/2011/01.03-18.11Vieques//P1060128 reminded us that Suzanne could make the first round of pina coladas ../../../Sabbat/2011/01.03-18.11Vieques//P1060129 in our slightly leaky blender ../../../Sabbat/2011/01.03-18.11Vieques//P1060130 and they were poured (and drunk) ../../../Sabbat/2011/01.03-18.11Vieques//P1060131 before we made our way into town past El Quenepo (a restaurant for another night) ../../../Sabbat/2011/01.03-18.11Vieques//P1060132 and to Duffy's ../../../Sabbat/2011/01.03-18.11Vieques//P1060133 where the menu ../../../Sabbat/2011/01.03-18.11Vieques//P1060134 led us to have rum drinks ../../../Sabbat/2011/01.03-18.11Vieques//P1060135 ../../../Sabbat/2011/01.03-18.11Vieques//P1060136 and a Pranqster beer ../../../Sabbat/2011/01.03-18.11Vieques//P1060137 before our main courses came and we managed our way through then still remembering what it was like to wake up before 5 in the morning. ../../../Sabbat/2011/01.03-18.11Vieques//P1060138 ../../../Sabbat/2011/01.03-18.11Vieques//P1060139 ../../../Sabbat/2011/01.03-18.11Vieques//P1060140 ../../../Sabbat/2011/01.03-18.11Vieques//P1060141 ../../../Sabbat/2011/01.03-18.11Vieques//P1060142
