The adventure begins! Anyone who knows Ben knows he LOVES to explore any new place he visits. We "adventured" to his hearts content our first day on the island.
Benny is a great wind break from that ocean breeze!

Susie's, our first dining adventure on the island, and our best meal we had!
Island adventure story: We were feeling pretty proud of ourselves that we'd figured out the taxi trick so quickly after our arrival. Ferry's bring people to the island 3 times per day and taxi's wait at the doc to take visitors to the famous Flamenco Beach. Our Villas were on Flamenco Beach, several hundred yards down from the public drop off. We would run to the drop off and flag down a taxi. On our first night we found a taxi and headed to town for some dinner (remember our hotel serves NO food or drink). We were dropped off in town. A restaurant recommendation from the taxi driver and we were in business! Our taxi driver failed to mention EVERYTHING in town was closed because it was Sunday. The few restaurants open on Sunday would not open for 2 more hours. We wandered around with our stomachs growling and kept telling ourselves this was an adventure. Susie's finally opened and we were waiting at the door. We had a nice meal and felt renewed. Another minor detail the taxi driver failed to mention was that once he dropped us off in town we had no way back. The taxi's stop running after the last ferry. Thank goodness the restaurant let us use their insect repellant and Ben happened to have a head lamp in his back pack. We started out on foot and an hour or so later we were back at the villa. It's all about the adventure!
