Well Michelle has been keeping us up past our bedtime. There is a quite varied and interesting world which emerges after dark that we tend to know little about so it is good to have her along for these after-dark forays. However, before the nightlife, we had a full schedule of Isla touring. Lily was […]
We have had a nice, lazy week waiting around for the weekend. We met several new friends at Taco Tuesday night. While we were there, Lily talked with Reba of Tropical Fun about her sea glass jewelry. Reba sells her jewelry at some of the local events. We were excited to see her table later […]

El Milagro Marina also has a few rooms for rent and Lily played all day long with her new friend Christina. Her family had plans to walk down to the plaza for the Dia de los Muertos and we tagged along with them. Linda, Cantrell, Victor and Christina are from Tennessee and have vacationed on […]
We had a fun Saturday night at a Nana Juana Bon Voyage Party for Scott, Tracy, Will and Molly. About 30 people gathered to toast the boat which has managed to be so much to so many.

They had already accomplished a reconnaissance bike ride of the […]
Friday, we heard rumors of a Lily look-alike on a boat at Ram Marina. We decided to investigate. Sure enough, there was a smiley blond, just-turned-eleven, girl on the sailboat Sunny Rays. We made friends, got invited for birthday cake and left minus our little smiley blonde who ended up staying on Sunny Rays for […]
Yesterday, we trailed Susie and John around the island as they did their gourmet shopping. John is making sushi for the upcoming island cook-off so sushi supplies were purchased at Bulk Gourmet. We stopped at a small open air carneceria in Coxen Hole for some ground pork and they told the butchers how well their […]
We rented a car last weekend so everyone could see a little more of the island. Carl, Faye, Toni and Randall spent Saturday exploring Sandy Bay and West End. Lily and I were both getting a sore throat and stayed behind to rest and read. The Carambola Botanical Gardens was a great place to get […]
