Our beach week

We arrived safely to a beautiful 4 bedroom house that could be in a magazine. It is all open and authentic. There are no windows and locks on all the doors to keep the monkeys out, yes monkeys. There is a pool right in the social area which we are learning is stressful with Lyndin.

Of course we jumped right into the pool after settling in. Lyndin loves the water and has no fear of it. She has learned to jump off the edge into my arms and would love to do it without me catching her, I'm sure.

Part of this adventure is getting to eat fresh seafood for lunch and dinner prepared by the personal chef. As you should know, will and i love seafood and lyndin has followed in our footsteps. The previous day we place our order with a local fisherman as to what seafood we would like for the following day. Lobster. Grouper. Parrot fish. Oysters. Calamari. Crab. Red snapper. Everything was so delicious. I can say that we will be seafood out of awhile after this trip.

The beach is just a short walk from our villa. It is beautiful and no one in sight. Actually most of the hotels and resorts are empty as the election is in August. And in 2007 there were attacks amongst the tribes and it got bad so tourism basically stopped. It is trying to bounce back but very slowly. The beach is nothing like I had seen before. Water for miles and the tide is so unique. It is never in or out at the same time. The locals seem to know exactly what time it will be high or low tide but we couldn't figure it out.
