Monday, Monday........a busy, busy day.
Coffeed and breakfasted here in our room as has mostly been our habit this trip, and this waking up at daybreak thing has just got to stop. Watched the early morning joggers and beach walkers from our deck.
So on to the big decisions of the day........What to do and where to eat? The two biggies......
Decided this was a good day to do some errands so off we went, but by the time we finally got around to leaving, J’s tradesman’s inner lunch alarm bell went off and when that happens, he needs to be fed.
Having heard so many good things about the Sand Box we decided to give it a try. It’s pretty much where Marty’s Dream Bar used to be at what was once Caravanserai, or Alegria, and possibly other names as well since this property has had such a storied past. It’s in the Morgan complex. A cute place with outdoor picnic tables and a very limited little beach alcove access.
We aren’t very adventurous so we opted for Blue Burgers and fries for lunch. The burgers were huge snd yummy and the curly fries were curly fries - what more can I say?! The waitstaff, what little there was of it, was grossly outnumbered by hungry eaters and service was extremely slow. They tried hard and a few times we actually saw them running with trays of food attempting to accommodate every one, to the point you had to feel sorry for them.
I would definitely go back but I would also hope they add a few more live bodies to their waitstaff numbers. The menu has a lot of options from burgers to sushi to coconut shrimp and so many other things and a whole menu of drink options, too. They also advertise lobsters though I didn’t see that on the menu. And you have to take your parking ticket upon entering the resort area through the Morgan gate but the restaurant staff will validate it and you park for free. They include the 15% SC and accept credit cards for charges in excess of $20.00.
After lunch we did some island errands before heading back to our pool which was calling us as the day was very hot when you were out and about. Visited with long time BSV vacationers at the pool and said our goodbyes to friends leaving tomorrow.
Dinner - such a decision. After deciding on the Bodega we actually ended up at El Zafiro, again. We had a lovely dinner of rack of lamb perfectly seasoned and cooked and to make the evening even nicer, we got to chat with some fellow TTOLers, Kathy and her sister both from Michigan. A pleasant ending to a lovely day.

I look forward to trying the Sandbox, but looks like I may need to bring some patience along...
