We didn't set alarms today, but were up lounging by around 8.  Meeting Lonnie halfway through breakfast they then were cleaning the room so we sat by the pool.  Having juice and cereal we then headed to Ramon's to rent kayaks.  This was fun and gave me a good upper body workout.  We went North and stopped for some ice cream.  Some kids ran over and at first were friendly, but then asked for money.  Then they scampered off when it was clear they weren't getting anything from us.  The return kayak trip was much shorter since we didn't go as far away from shore.  We dropped off the kayaks and returned to the hotel.

Back at the hotel, taking a water out of the fridge, a beer rolled out, hit the ground and started fizzing.  Taking this as a sign, we sat on the porch and had a beer.   It's good to be on vacation.   Wandering around town looking for lunch a lot was closed for Christmas or because of the off time (around 2pm).  We got lunch at the hotel.  L' took a nap while I showered and then met Lonnie at the pool. 

A little before sunset L' returned and we went on a walk.  I wanted to try for some sunset photos over the water so we walked the few blocks to the other side of the island.  No good water views, but we were among the locals now.  Houses are small and many would be called shacks in the U.S.  Upstairs balconies sometimes lack railings.  I doubt many or even any have air conditioning.  What a contrast to our hotel.  I wonder how the country can get tourist money to actually improve the lives of the locals and not just enrich the hotel owners.   As the sun sets, the bugs are returning and we head back to the hotel.

After a short stop, we head for dinner and find Fido's.  No dog, but good food even if the bruschetta was mispronounced and delivered after the entrees.  We wander back to the hotel for a drink and go to sleep.  Tomorrow we depart for the Cayo.
