Paradise
Our trip began on the wonderful island of Providence. It is small , remote, simple and the most beautiful and relaxing place I have ever been. The people were amazingly kind, the water was warm and crystal clear, the food was fabulous (ceviche, shrimp and rice)and the whole atmosphere was truly paradise. I can't even begin to explain the beauty of this island, nor do the pictures. It is one of those places that must be experienced to fully appreciate...

It did not take us long to find the only bar in town. It is on this beautiful beach called Manzanillo. Roland and his son Jeyson run and operate this bit of paradise. We spent a lot of time here listening to reggae, drinking cuba libres and enjoying the view.
My New Home
Jeyson was a wonderful host
We were so very sad to leave Providence but San Andres also had some beautiful beaches
My Birthday Night in San Andres...aka New Year's Eve
We began the night hanging out in this little park across from the hotel. I needed some bubbly, but couldn't find a glass.....straws work
Barracuda statue
Jeyson helped us ring in the New Year
A big storm coming in
Morgan's Cave.....rumored to have hidden treasures
Pirate's everywhere
This was a wonderful way to start the New Year and I know it is going to be a great 2008!!
