Last Day in Culebra

For our last day, the kids decided to go back to Flamenco Beach. The waves didn't seem to be as large but it wasn't high tide either. Cameron and I walked all the way to the east end of the beach to the remains of some military shark tanks. From there we snorkeled out and to the reef up the right side of the coast. Seemed to be a decent reef. The most spectacular thing we saw was a huge school of blue fish. Lisa got a picture of the girls playing in the sand.

For dinner, it was time for Mamacitas. We showed up early since it's only open from 6pm to 9pm. The rain was coming down and a local art vendor was telling us this was the most they've seen since February. As we entered the restaurant, there was the yellow Thing, seats dripping, and there were we, thinking how great that had worked out. We had the waitress take a family picture but that turned out blurry so I'm relegated to posting a picture of me and Lisa. But then again, if you read the whole blog, you can see that she looks good with or without a tan.

We had wanted to visit Melones Beach for our last sundown on the island but as I blogged several times, things on Culebra just go at a different pace. By the time we got finished with dinner, the folks on the east end of the big island were enjoying the setting sun. We were in total darkness.
