Finally I reached a day where I had the double good luck of a working camera and a bright blue sky. I was tentative because I wondered how long it would last as I took photos of our various views from the bed room
and then Peter out of
and in focus
and some close photos of plantings as I wondered if I should take any more pictures or save my luck for the few photos I had to have before leaving the island
but Seva blurred
and then became clear
as I recorded the house and a plant
and then had the camera go dark until dinner
where Suzanne
and I
and Peter and Seva began our cocktail hour
which amused Seva
and led to this self portrait for me
before we went exploring and decided that the Dinghy Dock (which we saw on a realtor's listing the next day)
was not the right place and after some exploration we ended up at Mamacitas which seemed to be the only open restaurant in town
so we read the menu
and went to the bar to wait
for the signs to clear
and the drinks to appear even though they had used up the last bananas of the day on the party ahead of us
Suzanne
Peter
Seva (out of pose)
and Seva (in pose)
and I were ready when our table was
and while we were happy to not share with the iguanas
I was happy to take this photo of our neighbors which, I am sure, came out better than the picture I took with their phone
and then the waiter came and explained that no other restaurant could get its act together to be open on Tuesday, hence the crowd at Mamacitas
and we toasted this observation
as we gathered drinks
and had salad
and jalapeno poppers
before the main courses arrived
