The days continue to blur into one another and were it not for my IPhone camera, I would be drawing a complete blank on the last 4 days.

Monday was Patty Healing Hands Day. This has become a standard activity early in our trips, with Mrs. Cruzer doing a second one closer to the end of our stay. We did nothing the rest of the day in preparation for dinner at Spiga. As I fall into a rut at certain restaurants, I decided to try something different. A dish resembling Saltimbocca was on the menu, made with chicken instead of veal. My mistake. I just don’t care for chicken-based dishes that don’t have a flavorful sauce and go for beef-like prices. The melon with prosciutto and a balsamic reduction entree was tasty and the dessert of a hazelnut tiramisu was good. The tiny scoop of ice cream wasn’t adequate so we each ordered an additional 2 scoops. I’ll just go back to my favorite seafood medley over risotto next time.

Tuesday the skies open up and graced us with rain most of the day. I performed many “administrative” duties to fill the time. My sole food picture was of the Café’s poke bowl, so meals weren’t a big thing, I guess.

Wednesday we were going to eat at Fleur de Sel and pick up some supplies next door at SuperU. Nope, all of Hope Easte was shut down. Figured we’d go back to Le Taitu, but they weren’t open either. Seems like most of the French side shut down for the May Day Holiday. No food pictures so I don’t know what we ate. Saw a half-way decent sunset, finally.

Thursday was another do-nothing day, interrupted by Lunch at Ital’s and dinner at Bistrot Caraibbes. We generally do Ital’s prior to a nicer meal, as it fills us up, but wears off by dinner time. I can’t tell how many times I’ve ruined a nice dinner by over-snacking beforehand.

Breakfasts tend to be picking up 2 croissants and maybe a pain chocolat from Sunset Café, popping them in the oven to warm up, and eating them in front of our room overlooking the bay. I could make it perfect by getting some bacon, but that might take up limited lunch/dinner stomach capacity.

Today is Friday and the first of our annual 3-day owners’ gathering/meeting. This will be our second time attending. The meeting itself is just 3 hours, with a few meals tossed in. We get comped 3 nights. We will probably spend the entire time here socializing. Rough life, but someone has to do it.

Lovely pictures! Yes, that was a really nice sunset! I had to laugh at the one picture of the cat on his back. It reminds me of when people train their dog to fall over 'dead'. Carry on!

A "3-day owners’ gathering/meeting" is a long meeting. No way would I agree to one of those.

Scuba--I think these folks are actual OWNERS, not timeshare owners.
