After a little morning boat work and a slight “tizzy fit” on my part, Dan and I were off to the beach!! Finally!! We found a niche just at the Westin and swam in the ocean, sunbathed on the white sand and even took a dip in their pool. NICE!
Lunch was a burger and fries at Eats Café then off to the local Batabano Carnival Parade that inched through town. Yes, they move on island time. What a riot of colors and characters. The participants came is all sizes and shapes but were all full of themselves and having a good time. We were even treated to two steel drum bands in the parade. Sweet!
STRUT YOUR STUFF!!
GET DOWN!

Later in the evening we cleaned up, checked out the final weigh-in for the fishing tournament and headed back into town for a last glimpse of the Carnival night life and dinner. We got slightly sidetracked and ended up driving a little further towards the east side and found some beautiful homes and a whole different residential community. There is still much to explore farther out there but I guess we will save that for another trip.
Back in town we found things still hopping and roamed for a while before hitting a booth where they were cooking fish, fried bread dumplings and breadfruit. Bet it will be a tamer town tomorrow as the revelers were still parting hardy.
This is so Debi and Jan (LOL!). I'm sorry we missed out.
