It was Saturday and we were greeted by coffee -- decaf
and caf
and cereal
as we looked out at another beautiful day
that Suzanne
and I
and Peter
and the Justs
were ready to begin
as Suzanne and Sara posed in their riding attire
and so we went to meet the horses but first we had to pass by these horses in the road
and then we were at the places
where horses were waiting for us
and being prepared by Elizabeth
so that we could have our ride on their backs
as Sara put on her helmet
and I was the first to be called
to mount my horse named Riscotti
and then Sara got on her horse
followed by Steven
and Suzanne
|
and even with Sara's concerns
Suzanne was ready
and so off we went into the jungle to begin our ride
|
and from the jungle, we rode onto the road where cars are not allowed
and from there to the beach
|
where we eventually went into formation
for this group photo of the 4 horsemen
with the sea behind
and Suzanne mounted for action
as we paused
and then made our way
back to the starting point
where I dismounted
and then there were photos taken
as Suzanne waited
for the group photo
taken by these potential future riders
and so we were ready to consider which beach to attend to on that day. The decision was to go to Blue Beach where we were greeted by Sarah, Christina, Lily and Shannon, our friends from the day before who told of being waitresses from Plum Island but were unwilling to pose in alphabetical order.
Seva and Peter went for a walk in the water
|
and then emerged
for lunch
and accompanying drink
and after a long day at the beach, we looked out and observed a man walking from shore to this island (over a tiny inlet of land and setting himself up to fish (gentle viewer: you need to go into high res and look carefully)
and after recording our neighbor in the water
and the broad beach
we noticed a yacht from Fajardo coming into port
near the island where the fisherman continued
and so we watched a few men get off the boat
said goodbye to the beautiful day
and headed home to turn on the television
and watch the Steelers game which had a happy ending
but not a quick ending which meant that we were quite late for our reservation at Coconuts
with its extensive menu
which made all of us
and especially the Steelers fan
happy to have our drinks
and salads
and comfort foods
and other foods
including vinegar for the fish and chips
before inquiring about a kitchen photo which turned out to be not possible though we could pose with Dorothy, the owner
and then have a photo of the owner with Jose, our waiter.
before checking out the town square
and the street sign
and the Mr Sushi chain which seems to grace only 3 cities.
