Becky......thank you for all that food porn and reviews.
I love your pics and how you say what each fish is...I would not know all of them.

Got a q, you say you love Zozo's but La Tapa is your fav?
I was just wondering. I know people love Zozo's ambience better, but I love the way Alex cooks at La Tapa.

BEAUTIFUL PICS!! Makes me anxious for May. You have inspired us to try snorkeling at the Coral Bay side of Haulover. We have always loved the north side but never tried the south. Thanks again for the pics.

Killer good! The green stuff in Francis Bay looks like fish eggs.

I'm off to read the restaurant reviews...

Need to try Asolare again; Love Shipwreck; Zozo's veal looks good - try again; La Tapa wins again - so very hungry!

Thanks.

Cheers, RickG

La Tapa is my favorite in Cruz Bay for both food and ambiance. I've never had anything bad there, and we have tried a bunch of stuff. I know that La Tapa does not have the views that other places do, but we always stay someplace with a view so I don't mind not having one at La Tapa--the food is so very good. I like the sambacombo nights also...we missed it this trip. Not next time!

To be completely honest, the only reason we ended up at Zozos twice is that we were too lazy to walk down the hill on our last night. :roll:

Becky, as always your trip reports are superb but you're killin' me. Tell us about the snorkle experience that was a once in a live time thing. I've been dying to know ever since you gave us that little teaser while you where still on-island. I'm leaving in 6 days and I HAVE TO KNOW. Is it in part 3?

WOW.
All hail Queen Becky, ruler of Food and Snorkeling!
The green grape-like stuff at Mary Point is an alga: green grape alga, actually.
Not so rare, surprised your super-observant eyes haven't found it before.

Thanks, Becky! One day I'd like to go snorkeling with you guys---you're such pros--- (just please don't tell me about the nurse sharks).
