Today was pretty lazy. We went into town (about a 40 minute drive each way) to buy some fruit and pick up a couple of bottles of wine for my husband. The lady at the wine shop randomly announced she was giving him a 50% discount. Not sure why, but he’ ll take it. The prices for wine are about the same as at home. The grocery prices are not that much more than home too, maybe $1-2 more per item, which isn’t too bad. There is a 10% VAT on top of all purchases.
The rest of my afternoon was spent alternating between sitting on the house deck and walking on the beach. (I dipped my foot in the pool, but am not sure if I am going to end up swimming in it. I am a wimp when it comes to water temps)
We went to dinner at Blu on the Water, one of the closest restaurants to our house. Probably a 15 minute drive. We were seated in a screened porch area, so the photos of the view did not come out, but it’s on a cliff above the water, and very lovely.
Here’s the menu
Husband had a margarita, and I had club soda with lime
We shared the seafood fritters to start. There was not a ton of seafood in them, but the batter had a nice flavor, and I did get one big chunk of conch.
Husband had the seafood risotto, which he enjoyed very much. It had lobster, grouper, and shrimp.
And I had the grilled grouper. They brought out some of their jerk sauce on the side for me to try
And then we shared a slice of key lime pie for dessert
