We left Isla Tuesday evening. This required a visit with Inga. We may now always refer to her as Isla’s Inga. Anyone who ever stayed at El Milagro must leave with fond memories of Inga. Or, at least, strong memories. In anticipation of our departure, Randall says to me, “We need to find out from […]
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 […]
By Lily Fuchs What I am doing today is I will interview Eric. Eric is the owner of El Milagro Beach Hotel & Marina. El Milagro was a shrimp factory before Eric bought it. He had to redesign the whole property. Eric is also a Realtor who lives and works in Santa Barbara, CA. He […]
The water has been calm and inviting the past few days. On Monday, we took the dinghy over to the northwest point where we have seen several snorkel tour boats anchor. Randall and Lily got in the water and snorkeled around the rusty boat carcass which lies in the shallow water. I sat in the […]
Lily and I got a little bout of an illness this week so we didn’t really do much around the island. Randall kept saying he was pretty sure we had chikungunya. Since Chikungunya is mosquito-borne, I was pretty resolved to the likelihood of getting a little dose of it. While the virus can be lethal, […]
It rained yesterday and we have more in the forecast today. This was actually good timing since we were behind in school and email and we are ready for a little sitting around the salon table with books, paper and computers. Plus, we have the air conditioner running and a fridge full of food so […]
By Lily Fuchs We went on a sail with Cristina and her family to the other end of the island. Yesterday was our golf cart day. After that we went to some good places to see the water. We had to say good bye to Cristina yesterday too. We went to a turtle rescue there […]
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 […]
On Sunday, we anchored at Cayo Quemado, formally known as Texan Bay. We headed up to the restaurant for one last hot meal with sides. It would be sandwiches or an occasional one pot mish-mash for a few days underway. Yollata and Oceana were there for dinner, too, so it was great to have company. […]
