I wasn’t able to get a photo of the monkey that ran across the balcony rail about a foot in front of us and which then emerged nearby with a baby on its back.

Monday morning was our down day and we headed down to the beach, where we spent a lovely time.

Lovely day, wonderful company. And as Scarlet once famously said, “Tomorrow IS another day.” Thanks for joining us!

    Enjoy your lovely island getaway–you chose the perfect year and month to escape. Great use of your pictures to tell your story.

    • Thanks, vb. It’s quite a shock to go from zero and feet of snow to hot and humid and it will be a shock to go back. But it’s so different and beautiful here.
