thanks for all the props, folks...makes this more fun...I enjoy reflecting on my trip, and a slow review of my pics help me do this...

Friday 4/26/13 day 6 of our adventure in paradise...

my group all cross paths in the morning at breakfast although it is never planned...janet has coffee, rina, carolyn, and rick usually have a bite to eat and coffee, and i have a sub, no coffee for me, never liked the stuff...and I take a walk down the beach...Larry usually sleeps in...same routine most mornings...today is the boardie bash, and it is all of our 1st one, so we are excited...this is why we are here...we are getting ready to head that way when we saw a guy with some fresh cut fruit and he said the fruit truck was here..guess it comes on friday....we all go check it out and buy a good bit of the fruit...I'll tell you that this was my breakfast and snacks for the next few days...very sweet, juicy and messy...mangos, papaya, and pineapples...and the small bananas...

As we are taking the fruit back to the room, I hear a big KABOOM right behind me and I swear to you I just missed being clobbered in the head by a falling breadfruit...I am serious, the witnesses can verify, that thing would have knocked me out....I will tell u this, when I walked that walk back to my room, everytime from then on, I was looking up, and not walking under the trees...very scary...stupid place, even the fruit had it out for me....hehehe...

On to Wild parrot....I haven't mentioned yet how cute Larry and Rina are in the matching shirts...ain't they purty?

there are people everywhere....some we have met, most we have not...and alot we never got to meet, sorry, it was just so hard to get around to everyone...if you see yourself in some of these pics, let me know who you are...

after a little while, we start gathering for the group pic....

the wild parrot was a good spot for this party, the beach was wide, and the beers were cold...
