Saturday "Beach Bum Day"

We decided that Saturday we would hang at the beach all day! We were up bright and early and were on the beach by 8. I had already downed 2 chocolate croissants. Also by now we were too lazy to even make the coffee in the room...we just ordered room service and had it served to us where we would proceed to take our coffee out on the balcony. We were living the luxe life, let me tell ya.
It was the usual morning of playing in the water, reading, drinking pina coladas, and having lunch in the Dolphin Grill. After lunch we each got a raft and took it over to the lazy river -- or as we called it...the "cold" pool. It wasn't heated. We found a place under a makeshift cave where we were completely shaded from the sun and could read and lay there without worrying about burning. It was wonderful!!!! We took pictures of each other and stood under the waterfall just letting that cold, fabulous water pour over us.
After we had had enough water for the day we decided to get some ice cream...so off we went. We wanted big fat sundaes but all we could find within walking distance were cones. So we settled on waffle cones at the little deli in the Wyndham Hotel. We just chatted and ate our ice cream and people watched.
Then it was time to clean up and get ready for cocktails and dinner.
We decided to go to this place that our busy driver on our first bus trip told us about....he said The Fish Fry was the place where all the locals go and the fish is WONDERFUL.
We took a taxi and the taxi driver said, "yes, you will eat well at Fish Fry." We thought the Fish Fry was the name of the restaurant....but it is like a strip of several restaurants. We picked the first one we saw called "Twin Brothers." We started off with (you guessed it!) conch fritters were the best ones YET!!! I got (yup, you guessed it!) grouper fingers and Bree got red snapper. We both agreed it was the BEST MEAL of all and the CHEAPEST!!!!
We had a wonderful time. It was real laid back and kind of hokey in there. Bree had to go to the bathroom and she was gone a long time. When she came back to the table she said, "Mom, I hope you don't have to go outside. It's across the road and its an outhouse!!!!" Well, let me tell ya, I'd have held my pee til my eyes turned yellow before I'd go in an outhouse!!!
The meal was great and we returned home full and happy and laughing and sweetly tired from the sun and the day outdoors.
Here is a pic of Bree and I at Twin Brothers!!!!
