Zoni Beach

I wanted to hike today and snorkel where there was a live reef. I got out-voted. Maybe tomorrow. Instead, we spent most of the day today at Zoni Beach. It's the closest beach to the house and a leatherback turtle sanctuary. We didn't see any turtles but saw several roped off areas where turtle-eggs had been laid. The surf here is light because the beach is blocked from the ocean by two smaller islands: Cayo Norte and Culebrita. This picture is one that Emily took and has Culebrita in the distance. We've scheduled a water taxi to take us there on Monday.
After a late lunch we went into town and did some shopping. This included our daily trip to the grocery store. Here are the kids as we walked back to the car. To the left is a Methodist church where they were holding some sort of VBS on Thursday and across the street is the Pandeli Bakery.
