Tom Owen's Island

Well we're back from an amazing weekend. Left Friday afternoon and headed out to Tom Owen's Island in Sapodilla Cayes. Just relaxed and had a delicious dinner of stew chicken, mash potatoes and rice and beans. Later we set up a bonfire and made smores. Saturday morning we got up and went snorkeling around the island. Then took the boat out to do some tubing and finally ended the day by doing some fishing and island hopping. That's when I got the picture of the starfish. For dinner Saturday night we has lobster, conch, and grouper that we caught and barbecued. It was so good. Another bonfire and more smores ensued. This morning we just relaxed on the island before heading home.

The island is tiny and we were the only people on it. You can see every side of it from the middle. There's a main house with 3 bedrooms and 3 cabanas out on the island with beds in them. It was a fun time but I'm glad to be back to running water and flush toilets. Not to mention I'm getting ready to head home. It'll be a decently short week: mobile clinics Monday and Tuesday, Clinic here on Wednesday, half-day in Barranco on Thursday (ending with Thanksgiving dinner), and a half day on Friday.

See you all in a week or two!
