to and across the big puddle ../../../Sabbat/2010/01.13-20.10Culebra//P1270510 with the view in the distance ../../../Sabbat/2010/01.13-20.10Culebra//P1270511 until with our final steps

../../../Sabbat/2010/01.13-20.10Culebra//P1270523 down the beach ../../../Sabbat/2010/01.13-20.10Culebra//P1270524 to this resting place ../../../Sabbat/2010/01.13-20.10Culebra//P1270525 ../../../Sabbat/2010/01.13-20.10Culebra//P1270526 from which we could see Mother and Child down the beach ../../../Sabbat/2010/01.13-20.10Culebra//P1270527 and the beauty of the water and sand ../../../Sabbat/2010/01.13-20.10Culebra//P1270528 ../../../Sabbat/2010/01.13-20.10Culebra//P1270529 as I admired all that was there and regretted that our vacation was in its final hours ../../../Sabbat/2010/01.13-20.10Culebra//P1270530 as the beach ../../../Sabbat/2010/01.13-20.10Culebra//P1270531 mother and child ../../../Sabbat/2010/01.13-20.10Culebra//P1270532 water

the beautiful sky ../../../Sabbat/2010/01.13-20.10Culebra//P1270544 ../../../Sabbat/2010/01.13-20.10Culebra//P1270545 as Peter stood ../../../Sabbat/2010/01.13-20.10Culebra//P1270546 ../../../Sabbat/2010/01.13-20.10Culebra//P1270547 beneath the tame clouds ../../../Sabbat/2010/01.13-20.10Culebra//P1270548 and mother and child ../../../Sabbat/2010/01.13-20.10Culebra//P1270549

../../../Sabbat/2010/01.13-20.10Culebra//P1270555 and made our way up the hill ../../../Sabbat/2010/01.13-20.10Culebra//P1270556 ../../../Sabbat/2010/01.13-20.10Culebra//P1270557

Our way to the airport was met with twin desires -- pictures of Peter taking the garbage to the town dump ../../../Sabbat/2010/01.13-20.10Culebra//P1270564 ../../../Sabbat/2010/01.13-20.10Culebra//P1270565 ../../../Sabbat/2010/01.13-20.10Culebra//P1270566 ../../../Sabbat/2010/01.13-20.10Culebra//P1270567 ../../../Sabbat/2010/01.13-20.10Culebra//P1270568 and pictures of the local cemetery though it didn't dawn on us that we would then see a funeral procession which must have involved all of the towns people. ../../../Sabbat/2010/01.13-20.10Culebra//P1270569 ../../../Sabbat/2010/01.13-20.10Culebra//P1270570 ../../../Sabbat/2010/01.13-20.10Culebra//P1270571 This brought us to the airport ../../../Sabbat/2010/01.13-20.10Culebra//P1270572 where we saw the air lines including Air Flamenco which would rescue us ../../../Sabbat/2010/01.13-20.10Culebra//P1270573 as Suzanne and Seva were more relaxed than they would have been ../../../Sabbat/2010/01.13-20.10Culebra//P1270574 it they realized that the empty airport ../../../Sabbat/2010/01.13-20.10Culebra//P1270575 with the roosters outside might be our home for the night ../../../Sabbat/2010/01.13-20.10Culebra//P1270576 ../../../Sabbat/2010/01.13-20.10Culebra//P1270577 which while it might have provided another chance to go to the restaurants where my camera didn't work ../../../Sabbat/2010/01.13-20.10Culebra//P1270578 and to learn even more about turtles ../../../Sabbat/2010/01.13-20.10Culebra//P1270579 would not have been as pleasant as getting on this backup plane ../../../Sabbat/2010/01.13-20.10Culebra//P1270580 ../../../Sabbat/2010/01.13-20.10Culebra//P1270581 and having remarkable views of the coastline as we flew off ../../../Sabbat/2010/01.13-20.10Culebra//P1270582 ../../../Sabbat/2010/01.13-20.10Culebra//P1270583 ../../../Sabbat/2010/01.13-20.10Culebra//P1270584 ../../../Sabbat/2010/01.13-20.10Culebra//P1270585 ../../../Sabbat/2010/01.13-20.10Culebra//P1270586 and over Zoni Beach ../../../Sabbat/2010/01.13-20.10Culebra//P1270587 and its neighbors ../../../Sabbat/2010/01.13-20.10Culebra//P1270588 and on to Flamenco Beach ../../../Sabbat/2010/01.13-20.10Culebra//P1270589 ../../../Sabbat/2010/01.13-20.10Culebra//P1270590 before passing over the Caribbean ../../../Sabbat/2010/01.13-20.10Culebra//P1270591 ../../../Sabbat/2010/01.13-20.10Culebra//P1270592 ../../../Sabbat/2010/01.13-20.10Culebra//P1270593 ../../../Sabbat/2010/01.13-20.10Culebra//P1270594 ../../../Sabbat/2010/01.13-20.10Culebra//P1270595 ../../../Sabbat/2010/01.13-20.10Culebra//P1270596 ../../../Sabbat/2010/01.13-20.10Culebra//P1270597 ../../../Sabbat/2010/01.13-20.10Culebra//P1270598 ../../../Sabbat/2010/01.13-20.10Culebra//P1270599 on our way to the big island ../../../Sabbat/2010/01.13-20.10Culebra//P1270600 ../../../Sabbat/2010/01.13-20.10Culebra//P1270601 ../../../Sabbat/2010/01.13-20.10Culebra//P1270602 where we saw the landing strip from on high ../../../Sabbat/2010/01.13-20.10Culebra//P1270603 ../../../Sabbat/2010/01.13-20.10Culebra//P1270604 ../../../Sabbat/2010/01.13-20.10Culebra//P1270605 ../../../Sabbat/2010/01.13-20.10Culebra//P1270606 ../../../Sabbat/2010/01.13-20.10Culebra//P1270607 and made our way past the cruise ship ../../../Sabbat/2010/01.13-20.10Culebra//P1270608 ../../../Sabbat/2010/01.13-20.10Culebra//P1270609 to a safe landing ../../../Sabbat/2010/01.13-20.10Culebra//P1270610 ../../../Sabbat/2010/01.13-20.10Culebra//P1270611 ../../../Sabbat/2010/01.13-20.10Culebra//P1270612 so that we could get onto the next flight with these nice tokens from Peter ../../../Sabbat/2010/01.13-20.10Culebra//P1270613 though the served meal ../../../Sabbat/2010/01.13-20.10Culebra//P1270614 ../../../Sabbat/2010/01.13-20.10Culebra//P1270615 did not match what we had brought (including the bread from the sketchy bakery) ../../../Sabbat/2010/01.13-20.10Culebra//P1270616 and Suzanne's wine was better than Susie's ../../../Sabbat/2010/01.13-20.10Culebra//P1270617 though my rum and diet coke did not measure up to what I had become accustomed to ../../../Sabbat/2010/01.13-20.10Culebra//P1270618 and after admiring the can ../../../Sabbat/2010/01.13-20.10Culebra//P1270619 we realized that diets be damned and ended our vacation with some nuts. ../../../Sabbat/2010/01.13-20.10Culebra//P1270620
