../../../Sabbat/2013/02.02-09.13St.Martin//P1020149 and Seva bottled some water ../../../Sabbat/2013/02.02-09.13St.Martin//P1020150 so that we could head to the water taxi ../../../Sabbat/2013/02.02-09.13St.Martin//P1020151 pay our fare ../../../Sabbat/2013/02.02-09.13St.Martin//P1020152 and get on board ../../../Sabbat/2013/02.02-09.13St.Martin//P1020153 for these photos that need to be merged ../../../Sabbat/2013/02.02-09.13St.Martin//P1020154 ../../../Sabbat/2013/02.02-09.13St.Martin//P1020155 and this selfie ../../../Sabbat/2013/02.02-09.13St.Martin//P1020156 preparing for the trip to Pinal Island ../../../Sabbat/2013/02.02-09.13St.Martin//P1020157 ../../../Sabbat/2013/02.02-09.13St.Martin//P1020158 ../../../Sabbat/2013/02.02-09.13St.Martin//P1020159 on the boat ../../../Sabbat/2013/02.02-09.13St.Martin//P1020160 ../../../Sabbat/2013/02.02-09.13St.Martin//P1020161 ../../../Sabbat/2013/02.02-09.13St.Martin//P1020162 ../../../Sabbat/2013/02.02-09.13St.Martin//P1020163 ../../../Sabbat/2013/02.02-09.13St.Martin//P1020164 ../../../Sabbat/2013/02.02-09.13St.Martin//P1020165 ../../../Sabbat/2013/02.02-09.13St.Martin//P1020166 until the island came into our sight including beach chairs ../../../Sabbat/2013/02.02-09.13St.Martin//P1020167 ../../../Sabbat/2013/02.02-09.13St.Martin//P1020168 and rocks ../../../Sabbat/2013/02.02-09.13St.Martin//P1020169 and views ../../../Sabbat/2013/02.02-09.13St.Martin//P1020170 until we disembarked ../../../Sabbat/2013/02.02-09.13St.Martin//P1020171 and got settled so that we could see folks out in the water ../../../Sabbat/2013/02.02-09.13St.Martin//P1020172 from our beach seats ../../../Sabbat/2013/02.02-09.13St.Martin//P1020173 ../../../Sabbat/2013/02.02-09.13St.Martin//P1020174 even as boats passed us by ../../../Sabbat/2013/02.02-09.13St.Martin//P1020175 and I recorded the scenery ../../../Sabbat/2013/02.02-09.13St.Martin//P1020176 as Suzanne settled ../../../Sabbat/2013/02.02-09.13St.Martin//P1020177 and Fabian negotiated our chairs ../../../Sabbat/2013/02.02-09.13St.Martin//P1020178 even as this person paddled past us ../../../Sabbat/2013/02.02-09.13St.Martin//P1020179 ../../../Sabbat/2013/02.02-09.13St.Martin//P1020180 ../../../Sabbat/2013/02.02-09.13St.Martin//P1020181 and these folks walked by ../../../Sabbat/2013/02.02-09.13St.Martin//P1020182 as Peter sampled the water ../../../Sabbat/2013/02.02-09.13St.Martin//P1020183 and we watched a faux mirage lady scene erupt ../../../Sabbat/2013/02.02-09.13St.Martin//P1020184 ../../../Sabbat/2013/02.02-09.13St.Martin//P1020185 ../../../Sabbat/2013/02.02-09.13St.Martin//P1020186 ../../../Sabbat/2013/02.02-09.13St.Martin//P1020187 ../../../Sabbat/2013/02.02-09.13St.Martin//P1020188 which made us all the more ready for lunch at Karibuni ../../../Sabbat/2013/02.02-09.13St.Martin//P1020189 where this was the menu ../../../Sabbat/2013/02.02-09.13St.Martin//P1020190 ../../../Sabbat/2013/02.02-09.13St.Martin//P1020191 ../../../Sabbat/2013/02.02-09.13St.Martin//P1020192 as Seva had a premonition about what might happen in the meal ../../../Sabbat/2013/02.02-09.13St.Martin//P1020193 though this didn't keep Suzanne from enjoying the experience ../../../Sabbat/2013/02.02-09.13St.Martin//P1020194 though I appeared fully incognito ../../../Sabbat/2013/02.02-09.13St.Martin//P1020195 until the bread ../../../Sabbat/2013/02.02-09.13St.Martin//P1020196 condiments ../../../Sabbat/2013/02.02-09.13St.Martin//P1020197 and drinks (best mojito of the trip) arrived ../../../Sabbat/2013/02.02-09.13St.Martin//P1020198 ../../../Sabbat/2013/02.02-09.13St.Martin//P1020199 ../../../Sabbat/2013/02.02-09.13St.Martin//P1020200 ../../../Sabbat/2013/02.02-09.13St.Martin//P1020201 and a cute little lizard appeared nearby ../../../Sabbat/2013/02.02-09.13St.Martin//P1020202 along with this frightening looking character by the grill ../../../Sabbat/2013/02.02-09.13St.Martin//P1020203 ../../../Sabbat/2013/02.02-09.13St.Martin//P1020204 ../../../Sabbat/2013/02.02-09.13St.Martin//P1020205 even as my salad arrived ../../../Sabbat/2013/02.02-09.13St.Martin//P1020206 as did Suzanne's ../../../Sabbat/2013/02.02-09.13St.Martin//P1020207 and Peter and Seva had salads ../../../Sabbat/2013/02.02-09.13St.Martin//P1020208 ../../../Sabbat/2013/02.02-09.13St.Martin//P1020209 along with their burgers. ../../../Sabbat/2013/02.02-09.13St.Martin//P1020210 ../../../Sabbat/2013/02.02-09.13St.Martin//P1020211 During the meal, a lizard appeared overhead ../../../Sabbat/2013/02.02-09.13St.Martin//P1020212 ../../../Sabbat/2013/02.02-09.13St.Martin//P1020213 ../../../Sabbat/2013/02.02-09.13St.Martin//P1020214 and left us some souvenirs ../../../Sabbat/2013/02.02-09.13St.Martin//P1020215 which made him less cute looking (in our eyes) ../../../Sabbat/2013/02.02-09.13St.Martin//P1020216 ../../../Sabbat/2013/02.02-09.13St.Martin//P1020217 but didn't prevent a second sample from arriving. ../../../Sabbat/2013/02.02-09.13St.Martin//P1020218 After a pit stop, I was ready to go back to the beach ../../../Sabbat/2013/02.02-09.13St.Martin//P1020219 saying farewell to the lizards ../../../Sabbat/2013/02.02-09.13St.Martin//P1020220 ../../../Sabbat/2013/02.02-09.13St.Martin//P1020221 ../../../Sabbat/2013/02.02-09.13St.Martin//P1020222 even as Seva did her mirage lady (serving herself) imitation ../../../Sabbat/2013/02.02-09.13St.Martin//P1020223 and these ladies were trying to arrange their photo shoots ../../../Sabbat/2013/02.02-09.13St.Martin//P1020224 ../../../Sabbat/2013/02.02-09.13St.Martin//P1020225 as Peter emerged from the water ../../../Sabbat/2013/02.02-09.13St.Martin//P1020226 ../../../Sabbat/2013/02.02-09.13St.Martin//P1020227 ../../../Sabbat/2013/02.02-09.13St.Martin//P1020228 to join us on the sand ../../../Sabbat/2013/02.02-09.13St.Martin//P1020229 but recorded our journey back into the water. ../../../Sabbat/2013/02.02-09.13St.Martin//P1020230 ../../../Sabbat/2013/02.02-09.13St.Martin//P1020231 ../../../Sabbat/2013/02.02-09.13St.Martin//P1020232 ../../../Sabbat/2013/02.02-09.13St.Martin//P1020233 Next we noted some hang gliders passing overhead ../../../Sabbat/2013/02.02-09.13St.Martin//P1020234 along with Karibuni boat ../../../Sabbat/2013/02.02-09.13St.Martin//P1020235 and the nag gliders continued to fly ../../../Sabbat/2013/02.02-09.13St.Martin//P1020236 ../../../Sabbat/2013/02.02-09.13St.Martin//P1020237 ../../../Sabbat/2013/02.02-09.13St.Martin//P1020238 ../../../Sabbat/2013/02.02-09.13St.Martin//P1020239 ../../../Sabbat/2013/02.02-09.13St.Martin//P1020240 as I scanned the skies and boats ../../../Sabbat/2013/02.02-09.13St.Martin//P1020241 ../../../Sabbat/2013/02.02-09.13St.Martin//P1020242 before we returned home and found that the Justs had arrived. ../../../Sabbat/2013/02.02-09.13St.Martin//P1020243 By and by, we went to Ti Bounchon for dinner ../../../Sabbat/2013/02.02-09.13St.Martin//P1020244 ../../../Sabbat/2013/02.02-09.13St.Martin//P1020245 where Momo the owner served us ../../../Sabbat/2013/02.02-09.13St.Martin//P1020246 which amused Suzanne ../../../Sabbat/2013/02.02-09.13St.Martin//P1020247 Peter ../../../Sabbat/2013/02.02-09.13St.Martin//P1020248 and Sara ../../../Sabbat/2013/02.02-09.13St.Martin//P1020249 but may have panicked Seva ../../../Sabbat/2013/02.02-09.13St.Martin//P1020250 and Steven ../../../Sabbat/2013/02.02-09.13St.Martin//P1020251 before I took this selfie ../../../Sabbat/2013/02.02-09.13St.Martin//P1020252 as the gazpacho arrived ../../../Sabbat/2013/02.02-09.13St.Martin//P1020253 together with my appetizer ../../../Sabbat/2013/02.02-09.13St.Martin//P1020254 and Suzanne's (which many others also ordered) ../../../Sabbat/2013/02.02-09.13St.Martin//P1020255 and this salad. ../../../Sabbat/2013/02.02-09.13St.Martin//P1020256 Next, the main courses arrived ../../../Sabbat/2013/02.02-09.13St.Martin//P1020257 ../../../Sabbat/2013/02.02-09.13St.Martin//P1020258 ../../../Sabbat/2013/02.02-09.13St.Martin//P1020259 ../../../Sabbat/2013/02.02-09.13St.Martin//P1020260 ../../../Sabbat/2013/02.02-09.13St.Martin//P1020261 ../../../Sabbat/2013/02.02-09.13St.Martin//P1020262 and I recorded the spices at the kitchen before we called it a night. ../../../Sabbat/2013/02.02-09.13St.Martin//P1020263
