Our First Day of Exploring Vieques Island, Puerto Rico: Tuesday 11/22/11

Welcome to our first blog!  We hope to share our experiences, pictures, and video with you while we house & dog sit for Nemo & Toro who are delightful little dogs.  Doug and Christa are the homeowners.

Their home is lovely with beautiful gardens.

Beautiful gardens & coconuts too.

Doug & Christa gave us a great introduction to the island on Monday, 11/21.  Here's some of what we saw that day.  Love that you see horse roaming free, and often there are egrets atop the horses feeding off the bugs on their coats.

Here's the view of the big island of Puerto Rico as seen from the northwest side of Vieques.

We dropped them off at the local airport this morning, and went off to explore.  We had breakfast at Belly Buttons restaurant.  It's in Esperanza on the "Malecon" (main street) which is located on the south shore of the island.  It overlooks Sun Bay beach.

We headed west to the Playa Grande.  Beautiful sights!

Well that's about all for today.  One last picture of a gecko, one of many who thankfully eat the mosquitos.
