Sat Dec 23rd

Day 5 - Woke up to rain & wind. Rain stops but the wind is still whipping about. We laze around the house a bit, going extra slow. We eventually pack up and head to Cruz Bay. I need new sunglasses as I lost my on Thursday sometime after our hike.

We go to the Market Place and end up eating lunch at Satyamuna which is on the 2nd level. If you get a chance, please go, they make wonderful food. I had a mushroom lasagna, D had an eggplant dish (which was awesome!) and R & L each ordered the Falafel plate. We love falafel and fix it here at home, so it was nice to have it while on vacation.

I then go to the pharmacy and buy a pair of clip-ons. We then head for Maho. We love Maho! We swim and snorkel, read, and just become bums.

At around 4 PM we go to Trunk Bay and use their facilities to clean up. We decided this morning, that instead of going back home to Coral Bay and then driving back to Cruz Bay for dinner that we would pack clean clothes for dinner and get cleaned up at Trunk Bay, which is what we did. We then drove to Cruz Bay, parked in Slimmans lot and just walked around checking out Cruz Bay, walking up the shore line in front of Panini's et al, walked the streets and basically, just looked the town over. Love it!!

We then went to Cafe Roma for supper. And boy, another fine meal did we have! We started off with Antipasti, bread and a bottle of wine. Then I had baked penne pasta w/ hot Italian sausage (big enough to feed 4 people), D & L had a Seafood Manicotti that was Out of this World, and R had a Vegetarian pasta dish. We all took plenty of leftovers home, too, the guys 1/2 of their meals and me 3/4 of mine as the Antipasti and bread did us in. But hey, nothing wrong with leftovers later in the week - Yum!

This was our last day/night coming all of the way into Cruz Bay as we've made a decision that we won't come back until Thurs. Dec. 28th when it is time to go home.
We've been "running" the roads and it is time to stay home in our own neck of the woods!

They were fine, Ksea. We didn't take showers, we just wiped ourselves down, washed our faces, and put on clean clothes and tried to make ourselves presentable. It was very handy.

Soon come our turn!! :D
