It rained heavily in the night but we awoke to beautiful blue skies and coffee and the NYTimes with our breakfast and tamarind juice yogurt bagel and fruit which inspired me to make this sculpture and then slowly eat away at it to retain my membership in the clean plate club. Back at the room, I took out the glasses repair kit and went to work on my sunglasses which appeared differently with flash than without as I did the tedious task and Suzanne lounged in the bed. The coconut was still in our tree and we again recorded our local view and the bench loveseat and book and Times crossword puzzle in our room. Next, I worked on self portraits with flash and without as Suzanne knitted her elegant yarns and we looked at our possessions and then the room's pictures before responding to the call of the beach which beckoned us. Suzanne was the first to touch the water which was beautiful and inspired me to put on snorkeling gear and explore. Next, Suzanne was in the water and I recorded her path, stroke by stroke by stroke and then step by step until she emerged and left me to admire the caustics caused by the discontinuities of the sun's reflection on the water. The beach seemed desserted but a few people went by as Suzanne did another turn at snorkeling and returning to our site to watch the sea and then head to Scott's beach. Before we left, we ran into the mirage lady who gave us an action pose and sent us on our way to admire the beautiful ship passing by and to enjoy our drink from her as we watched the boat and finally figured out how they fit those boats into bottles. Somehow, the beach experience changed the name of my book even as the view beckoned Suzanne back into the water and the mirage lady back to our side.

After the beach, we called Sarah and heard the incomprehensible story of the attacker at Sword's house. Then we made our way to the Turtle bay estate house where this gentleman brought this drink and we made our way to our table where Suzanne had some bread and admired the setting as I got my white wine and admired mine to Suzanne's amusement of the bread and her salad and my mango soup which didn't take well to flash-free photography in the darkened environment. The main courses were tasty and then the desert menu came illuminating the darkness for coffee and tart to the chef's amusement.
