More random shots from Vieques

Us at our favorite -- Navio Beach...
The turquoise warm wavy water at Navio Beach.
Dinner at Veritas restaurant... It was about 77 degrees still and we sat outside on the back deck.
I really like the grilled red snapper with mango salsa, a nice Cabernet and Philip had the steak and it was great... Not to mention the nice atmosphere and best service by far on the island... definitely recommend this place.
I love me some cartwheels on the beach... :)
Down by the ferry buying some Caribbean lobsters for dinner... :)

Cliff Jumping and Wild Horses...Vieques Continued

Jumping off a cliff at our favorite beach Playa Navio. The first picture is me-- I wanted to go first before I lost my nerve, but it took me about 10 mins to decide if I was really going to do this or not... The wind was very strong up there and we had to keep our flip flops on because the rocks were so sharp, we couldn't do it barefoot. I was probably more scared of accidentally slipping off than the actual jump. Finally I just went 1-2-3-JUMP! and all I could think for what seemed like a full minute of falling through the air was "oh SHIT!!!"..both terrified and thrilled.

The second picture is Philip cannonballing right off, no problem... :)

On the drive home from the beach this horse was running along the road beside us, and the sunlight was low and beautiful right then.

Back in Paradise...Vieques Island

Back in Vieques, PR for 12 days...Life is good. There is something about being in the warmth, near the turquoise water and sand that just changes you. Things seem to come into perspective more easily with the sound of the ocean and the smells of the tropical flowers surrounding you.

I love this island. It's beaches are truly magical and there is such a multitude of them that I could go to a different one every day I'm here and love each one more than the next. I have heard that the best is Red Beach (Caracas) but it's difficult to decide.

(I'll include pictures of that beach in a following post).

This picture above is from Sun Bay on Monday at dusk -- we stopped to see the water there right after getting off the ferry and before heading to Duffy's in Esperanza for some dinner.

I've been going to the beach each morning for some ejercisio con Roberto -- it's so nice to be outside connecting with nature while working out...makes a big difference to me. I actually look forward to it and enjoy it at that early hour, so that says something. :)
Yesterday right after a day at the beach and my outdoor shower, I laid in the hammock and did some lazy reading in the setting sun...

Paradise found.
