Beach Time

We stayed on the island of Culebra for one week. This was different for me, as when I travel I usually stay in one spot for a few days and then move on. However, it was quite nice to have a "base" and get to know a place better. Not too many days later, did we manage to make some friends and run into them at the only decent grocery store. We rented a golf cart one day and toured pretty much every paved road on the island !

We would sleep in, I would enjoy my coffee while overlooking the bay, and then we would pick a new beach to snorkel in for a few hours. We sampled appetizer dishes at local restaurants and dined on fresh seafood.

Mike managed to catch a lobster under the boat deck one evening ! A fellow man lent him his spear pole, and sure enough, 1/2 an hour later, we boiled the guy for 15 minutes, marinated the lobster in a garlic/lime/soy marinade and grilled him over a hot BBQ grill !

Mosquito bites, sun burns, windy ocean winds, tropical birds and plants, all of which felt good to be out of the element of the desert winter life that was occurring in Utah !
