Marc- Today started out with getting free loaner bikes from the marina and touring the island. We started out with a few shops in the village and then headed over to the Island Museum and then the Turtle Hospital. We passed through a dense forest via a bike path in the middle of the island.
We met up with Michael and Doreen for lunch at The Pantry sandwich shop in the Hotel. The Cuban sandwiches were awesome. Sue found some beautiful flowers and a beautiful monarch butterfly attracted to one flower type. We rode our bikes around the "cottages" and saw the sky beginning to darken so headed back to the marina.
We secured the boat as the wind and rain picked up, then hid inside during the storm. It took several hours for the multiple thunderstorms to pass. We came out later when the sun appeared and the wind disappeared. Unfortunately the noseeum bugs came out. Sue and I walked over to the Heritage Village in the State Park. The evening light and the full moon had a special effect and we tried to capture some of this in the following photos. We saw several white tailed deer on our way back to the marina.
The temperature here today was in the low 60s and it was 70 at home!
