Yesterday after breakfast (yesterday’s frittata was feta, mushroom, spinach and roasted pepper, and that’s avocado toast in the back)

we had a pretty chill day just hanging out on the deck of our tent (that’s a mango tree next to our tent)

We went back down to the beach for snorkeling and sea glass hunting (success on both fronts). Once again we had the beach to ourselves. I guess everyone else was on the other side of the island at the pool.

 

We had not planned to go back to St. John, but decided on a whim to head over for dinner. (The resort provides shuttle service as part of your stay).  The concierge got us a reservation at one of our favorites, La Tapa.  But first, we stopped in at Drink for, well, a drink.  View

We are flying home today, but will be back on St. John in May. We are hoping for smaller crowds and warmer water. We also made a pledge that we would only try new places to eat in May. Will we succeed? Only time will tell.

 

Thanks for following along, and see you on the dinner! thread starting tomorrow!
