Smoothies on the house for everyone!!! Oh, were only ones here…make it four smoothies for just us then. “Smoothies con(with) agua or con leche?”, Christine asked. “Con agua, por favor”, we responded. Christine is of course the phenomenal smoothie maker. Anna got a Sandia y Fresa (Watermelon & Strawberry) and the rest of us got the usual, Pinas, Naranjo y Limon (Pineapple, Orange & Lemon). 
The kids also decided that a piece of chocolate cake would be a nice reward after all the walking. As if the smoothies weren’t enough. A few eyelash bats later and Olivia had me suckered into a piece of cake. Anna and I each had a pita type bread filled with jamon(ham), queso (cheese) and ceballo (onion). Pretty darn tasty if I say so myself. I could have eaten two of them.
Headed back to the house after lunch and played in the pool for about an hour. Thomas got in one of the hammocks and quickly jumped out after he noticed he was nestled up to one of the local residents, a black scorpion. The scorpion was around three inches long. Needless to say, both of kids now are checking the hammocks before hopping in.
We headed to where the fishermen tie up their boats at night, near Cemetary Island. We strolled out amongst the rocks and hunted for shells. We ran into a couple from New York that just arrived last night. Eric and Jenny had the same idea we did, shell hunting. We conversed for some time and then parted ways. They are here for eight days, so I’m sure we will run into them at one of the local sodas .
Found two different types of crabs. One was a blue crab, the other we will have to find out what type it is. Each were fairly good size. I think we may go back in the next couple of days and collect some of the blue crabs for dinner. Since we ran into quite a bit of them, I’m thinking we will have a pretty good amount of crab meat.
We left the beach a little after 6pm and stopped at the bakery on the way home. Picked up a couple pieces of chocolate cake and some other items yet to be tasted.
So awesome!
