Soon, Kara and Perri were up and we were sitting on the deck together looking at our wonderful (new) view. Since arriving at the Lil Red House in the cover of darkness, we didn't know that we were OCEANFRONT. Lucky us!! Things were really starting to look promising.
Excited to FINALLY have running water...we all took our first shower in two days! The water pressure sucked but man that was the best shower......EVER. Emerging from our cottage clean, shiny and new we climbed in the Taurus, tackled the bumpity road and went to the store in Palmetto Point. We picked up a few grocery items, Shampoo, Goombay Punch (yummy!) and more Cadbury bars.
Back at the house, I was feeling sleepy and still a little "fuzzy" so I was relieved when Perri and Kara wanted to take a nap. I'm not usually one for the mid-day nap, but since my stomach was still doing flip-flops and my head was heavy, I was happy to lay on the bed with the A/C pumping and nap for a couple hours.
When we woke we went out to the beach and started walking; thankfully there were no dogs to be found. A little way up the beach we heard country music (definately an older song we all knew, but can't remember now)...we kept walking wondering where it was coming from. We passed a house with two couples on the deck...said Hello and they invited us up for a drink.
Two canadian couples that met on vacation in Cuba...we chatted and kept feeling something nip at our legs. The two ladies told us about the no-seeums and showed us their horrible, blistery bites. They gave us the last of their Beachcomber Buds Coconut Oil since they were departing the next day. The coconut oil soothed the bites and kept the noseeums at bay (for a few minutes at least). Chatted for a while then headed back to our house.
Decided to go back to store to get a "to-go" sandwich, back to the house and in front of the TV to watch...S U R V I V O R!! Yes, even on vaca we like to catch our shows. Dexter was on after that...at the time I was the only one following that show, but I made an addict out of Perri!! We stayed up for a while, then off to bed we went. We were planning on an early-ish start in the morning to hit Island Farms for some fresh bread...
