(Happy Birthday Mom)
Today was incredible. I woke up from the sound of the wind and/or it’s shaking of the cabin, and looked out to find a beautiful pink and purple sunrise! I woke Edgie up and we both watched the sunrise as pink and purple turned to gold and orange until finally it was its normal yellow/white hue. We fell back asleep for a couple hours.
After breakfast we decided to go on a drive to explore the other parts of the island. We went up to the East End. There we found a great bay and went out for a quick snorkel. We got some great underwater photos and even a video of Edgie being silly.
Afterwards, we were both hungry so we came and cooked our other portion of Mahi Mahi and heated up our leftover rice from yesterday. It’s fun here because it’s almost a mixture of a hotel and camping. We really enjoy making our meals and Edmundo gets really creative with our limited ingredients. Today he added some secret ingredients to our fish and it was amazing! It tasted great plus it was really flakey and tender.
When we finished lunch, we went out to explore more, this time to the central Northern area. We stopped along the way for a smoothie from Colombo’s Smoothie Shack, then went on up to Leinster Bay.
We walked a little way on a trail by the beach taking photos and then decided to go back to check out the Annaberg ruins. It was interesting, an old Dutch sugar mill and slave quarters.
Then we winded our way over to Maho Bay to check out the other facilities we had thought about renting. They were not nearly as cool as ours and way more crowded!
So finally we headed back to Concordia and our wonderful Eco Tent to make Chef Boyardee Raviolis. Edmundo had a little startle when a little black mouse decided to jump out and visit him while he was cooking. But all in all, the day turned out great… another long day here on the island.

La Version de Edmundo:
Día 3-
OK, el día de hoy fuimos al “east end”, ahí termina el parque y da paso a propiedades privadas y playas privadas también. Resulta que justo donde termina el camino encontré más una playa increíble, nadamos con snorkel y fue mágico, el agua se veía turquesa, casi blanca. Bueno, esa playa estaba llena de erizos de todas las formas y tamaños y también repleta de coral y pescaditos.
En el camino de regreso paramos en una playa con manglares, caminamos en el agua que no era profunda y si transparente en todas partes.
Más tarde regresamos a comer y preparé mahi mahi con arroz, delicioso, muy suave, que rico.
Después nos dirigimos a una playa que conectan las ruinas de Annaberg en Leinster Bay y vimos que el siguiente camino será otro día ir a caminar a la bahía Watermelon . De regreso pasamos al campamento Maho y era enorme, parecía como si la película de “La playa” de Guy Ritchie se hiciera material.
Al regresar al campamento en Concordia el aire soplaba y el cielo era negro, pocas estrellas. Comencé a pensar en las opciones para la cena y prendí el quemador, de pronto un ratón que se escondía junto a él salió corriendo volado y seguro espantado y quemado, pero mi corazón latía a mil por hora.
Edmundo's Journal translated:
Day 3-
OK, today we went to the “east end”, there the park ends and you pass by private property and private beaches. It turns out that just where the road ends I found one more incredible beach, we snorkeled and it was magical, the water was turquoise, almost clear. Anyway, that beach was full of sea urchin of all types and sizes and it was also full of coral and fish.
On the way back we stopped at a beach with mangroves, we walked in the water that wasn’t very deep and therefore transparent all around.
Later we came home to eat and I prepared mahi mahi with rice, delicious, very soft, so good.
After that we went on to a beach that connected the ruins of Annaberg in Leinster Bay and we saw that the hike there that went over to Watermelon Bay should be saved for another day. On the way home we passed by Maho Campsites and it was huge, it seemed as if the movie “The Beach” had been made a reality.
Returning to the campsite in Concordia the air blew and the sky was black, very few stars. I began to think about options for dinner and I turned on the burner, suddenly a mouse that was hidden next to it came running flustered and surely burnt, but my heart beat at a thousand miles an hour.
