Day 182, Year Happy Easter from Vieques
Date: Sunday, April 24, 2011
Weather: Another Sunny and Beautiful Day
Location: Bastimento Beach Bungalow, Vieques-Puerto Rico
The Easter bunny arrived here in Vieques and left eggs for us to find on the beach. What fun! We have learned that Jonah is the true chocolate lover in the bunch. Even tonight he is still opening every plastic egg he sees to check to see if there is a chocolate egg inside. Sam and Ziggy really got into the egg hunt and it was a fun time all around. We spent the morning on the beach building sand castles and searching the inner reef for hermit crabs, snails, chitons, sea urchins, small fish, and some other rather bizarre shallow water creatures. We built sandcastles, had races on the beach, and later in the day Justin did a snorkeling venture to see what is between our inner reef and the reef about 50 yards offshore. The surf outside the inner rough was rough this afternoon, but Justin managed to see a few interesting creatures. At the same time, Heather was exploring inside the inner reef and she reported that there are lots of interesting things to see without going to the outside. Tomorrow we all go to Windbird for a little sail so Jonah and Ziggy get to see how Oma and Granddad travel across the water. Sam has sailed with us in Thailand and it will be interesting to see what he remembers. In order to do this, we will be renting the car for one more day. Then after that we are walking or taking the publico. But honestly, just sitting here on the beach is great. As long as we have enough food, we will be fine. The joy of just being together is the most important thing.
