Mimi's
 After the excitement of the zoo, it was off
to Guanica to find Mimi's, tucked off the beaten track
   Welcomed by the proprietor, David,
who said Mimi's was named after his late mum. He showed us to
our wonderful Bo-ho room. "Be ready for
18:30, if you want to go out"
 Bear soon
settled and was ready for an afternoon drink in our private
garden
 David, Peter and Ruth, Paul and Susan (the
other guests) and the two of us went off to Bodega in
Ensenada for the evening. They don't advertise so it's purely word of mouth that
brings in guests to this converted garden restaurant. They are gaining a
reputation for good food especially the tapas. Their home made red wine,
fortified with brandy and four flavours of liquor are delicious - of course they
had to force us to try them all...... Sadly they haven't started producing white
wine, but they had a good choice of Spanish import. The magician was painfully
bad but the band more than made up for it. Back by midnight.
 Up bright and breezy the next morning, David showed us to his local beach, some fifteen minutes
walk away from Mimi's.
 It's a protected
lagoon with the sea and reef way out from the mangrove on the opposite
side from where we found this piece of heaven
 As we neared, the water
was crystal clear. We spent an hour drifting on the current and searching
for the iguanas that cross from the beach to sunbathe in the
mangrove
 The only others with us were this pair scuttling up and down the beach
 Sadly and all too soon it was time to wend
our way toward Ponce.
ALL IN ALL A
WONDERFUL INTERLUDE IN OUR ROAD TRIP - HAPPY VALENTINE'S
DAY
