A bit later, we re-forded the puddle-plagued road back to the 'main road', and bumped our way back towards the highway to the 'townlet' where hoped for a restaurant. None that I would eat in, so we went to a market and bought some pasta, sauce, and sauce-fix-up vegetables and such.

Before returning down the swamp-road, we stopped at the only open-air bar near the beach, and had a couple of beers. Here we encountered a stunning rain, lightening and thunder storm for which we just sat and enjoyed from right here. What a fun afternoon. When the storm stopped, we forded our way back to the 'hotel' and to the balcony to prepare ourselves for dinner. We went down, and began cooking what would turn out to be a delicious meal that we all enjoyed more for the circumstances.
