Good morning friends, can you spot my two visitors from South Dakota?? Yesterday after taking the dogs for a long walk over by the salt flats and checking on a Geocache I picked up my two waiting beauties and off we went on an island drive. I wanted to take them to snorkel and Geocache at Puerto Mari, it’s one of those places here that has it all. We first stopped and tried to photograph the wild flamingos that we found walking in the shallow salt water along the road but the closer we got the further they walked. I really had to laugh because when we first got there I spotted this large group of flamingos pretty much hidden in the back but once we got out and started walking especially me with the tripod, three different cars stopped filled with people and all followed me, it was like shooting wildlife in Yellowstone all over again. The good news is, the girls got see the birds! After a 20 minute hike we were now all thirsty so once back at the car we drove directly to Puerto Mari and made a direct path to the restaurant. After a quick lunch we went on a Geocaching adventure and then my two South Dakota mermaids made their way into the beautiful waters of the Caribbean. They swam while I climbed the cliffs in search of a photo, I lost a little blood taking this shot as it’s all cacti and thorns. At one point while standing here watching I heard Karine yell out to Brianna that she had found a Frogfish?? Yeah say what?? I thought “you got to be kidding me”, how is that I had to do 500 plus dives to see a frogfish and she just found one snorkeling? If ever I wanted to throw my camera into the sea it was upon hearing those words yesterday! Karine had in fact found a Frogfish, it’s just laying inside one of the underwater man made reef balls they have here and yes you can see it by snorkeling, unbelievable! So after about an hour swim we again made our way to the refreshment stand and then took off home. Aimee and I met them later at the Avila for a really nice BBQ. For those of you locals who want to do something fun on a Saturday night check them out for dinner, it is the hands down most delicious BBQ buffet you will find on the island!
It’s time to pick them up and go swim with the dolphins, see you tonight, Barry
