Twas a very nice time, not the least of which was a desert island all to ourselves to play on ... but the indigenous people and experiences are also very enriching .... all in all, a wonderful time ... Ah paradise! ... Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh, nothing like a little exposure to De la Luna WILD LIFE after a few days of decadent indulgence, now is there? Racoon fighting with 100 pound dog - why do I worry about HER?, 100 pound dog cornering opposum under our bedroom armoire, little monkey hurt and sad with sprained wrist which he still favors "-( ~ Yep, I think that covers the wild kingdom! Now, just what am I supposed to do with the BIG monkey?????? I guess pizza will have to do! "-) Beautiful children of Gustavino (a Tobobe Official) who visited us at the island via Panga ... ... I love Isla Boa!

Smaller tidal beach with natural beauty of all kinds :-) ... You are such a goofball! An adorable goofball, just the same! That was SUCH a fun trip ~ thank you so much for taking me away! 
Life truly does suck sometimes ... I think my beer is getting warm :-) ... No way! Remember, the fridge was well stocked with COLD beer... In fact, you were lucky to GET any beer. I ate chocolate, doritos and drank beer for three days straight! Oh, and slept a lot too.... What a holiday! Yes, what you can't see in the picture is the female dorito shark coming at me ... a dorito shark is a very rare species indeed to be seen in those particular waters ...
