This morning we slept in just a little and went back to Mongoose Landing for breakfast.\u00a0 <\/span>Amanda found the Sun Dog Caf\u00e9 online.\u00a0 <\/span>The waitress\/bartender was very nice and told us of her time on the island–37 years in various business ventures, and the 2nd oldest bartender on the island!\u00a0 <\/span>(Apparently someone keeps track of that sort of thing…or maybe it\u2019s just her!)<\/p>\n

After breakfast we walked around Mongoose Landing and checked out a couple of shops we hadn\u2019t found the last time we were there.\u00a0 <\/span>Then we returned to our room and hung out for most of the day. \u00a0 <\/span>Amanda swam, I napped, she napped.\u00a0 <\/span>And we started getting ready for the trip home tomorrow–doing laundry, getting organized, etc.<\/p>\n

We had our \u201cLast Supper\u201d at the High Tide, which has been our favorite of all the places at which we\u2019ve eaten on this trip.\u00a0 <\/span>The sunset did not disappoint!<\/p>\n

Tomorrow is travel day–breakfast on-resort, then their ferry to St. Thomas and their shuttle to the airport.<\/p>\n
