Sure enough, the rainbow appeared during the brief morning shower. It's hard to see, look just above the the palm tree in front of the pool.
After a tasty breakfast at JJ's (Huevos Rancheros....yum) we hiked the trail down to Soloman Beach, which was beautiful. In all of our visits we had never done that so it was past time.
It's all down hill so it wasn't a difficult walk but if it had rained any harder than it had it would have been too slick for the flip-flops that we were all wearing. There are plenty of loose stones.
None of us were interested in the level of physical exertion that would be required to hike all the way back up lugging our gear and besides it was WELL past elevenses (you Don't Stop the Carnival fans know exactly what I mean) so after an enjoyable few hours on Soloman we walked back up the trail to the first fork then headed left to Honeymoon Beach which is another of our favorites. That walk is fairly level once you get to that fork then it's just about another 7 or eight minute walk to the main Caneel beach where we cleaned up and had a late lunch before catching a cab back to the car.
Back to Gallows to relax and look for that octopus. He's a slippery little fella and has evaded us thus far.
I doubt anyone will be too hungry for dinner so we'll probably order a pizza for the room and watch some fantastically inappropriate for a 10 year old movie like Austin Powers which to this day reduces all four of us to helpless giggles. The parts that should go right over his head, do......except maybe the "Machine gun jugglies, how did I miss those?" manner of comments which I'm hopeful won't ruin his character.
Last night dinner at Rhumblines was wonderful as usual. I have no defense for the attack of mirth that befell us as #1 and #2 entertained us with a list of famous last words like "What does this button do?" except to say that thank God we were on foot because the the sun, exercise and perhaps possibly the cocktails were catching up with us and I wouldn't have advised either of us to get behind the wheel. We thoroughly enjoyed a complete Pu-Pu experience and ordered various items from the pu-pu menu and appetizer list until we were full. Each and every one were delicious. The breast of duck app, bbq shrimp and spring rolls were the favorites but it was all so good and the sauces are fantastic. Service was charming and superb as always. We stopped into a couple of shops after and strolled home around 10ish. A great day.
