Another lazy day in paradise

That title about sums it up.  Lovely day, though didn't accomplish very much. We had breakfast at home, then ran a few errands (bank & the fruit stand).  Back home for a couple of hours to sit up on the roof deck and read before it got too hot.  Back out for a late lunch (lobster clubhouse sandwiches & iced tea) at a little bar on the beach, and then back home where Andrew napped & I read.  

On our way back out to forage for dinner, we encountered this little guy in the driveway.  If he would have had a couple of friends with him, we could have had crab legs for dinner!


We swung by French Angel to see if we're able to go on the manatee tour tomorrow - nope, only three people signed up (they need at least 4).  John told us that he's working with some of the other tour operators to see if they can get a group together for Monday.  If not, we may see if Bert can take us.  He mentioned that he does manatee tours, too.  Speaking of Bert, we also went by his place to get our dive books stamped from yesterday's dives.  He told us that he does single tank night dives, and that he would take just the two of us out if we were interested.  We are definitely interested, but Andrew's right ear is plugged from the two dives yesterday (which always happens), so we'll have to see if that unplugs by Monday.  If it does, we'll try to go out on Tuesday night.  

Dinner was found at the bakery - they have the most lovely fresh buns there.  Andrew just had his with butter; I had mine with peanut butter.  A side of fresh pineapple and it was perfect!  I am, however, going to need a serious carb detox when we get home - ugh! 

Now we're in for the night.  Since we're not going to see the manatees tomorrow, we may take a hike out to Back Back street and see where we end up.  Hopefully that will make for a more interesting post than this one!

  2. Sounds way better than our 30cm of snow, gross. Hey I haven't heard anything about Chocolate yet, is that the manatee tour you are talking about?

  3. No, we won't be going out with Chocolate, sadly. It seems that 80-something year old guys can afford to be choosy. He only goes if he has at least 6 people, and the weather has to be perfect. In other words, he doesn't go very damn often. :(
