This morning we needed to vacate the house because a photographer was coming to shoot the house for International Living, so what better excuse to take a trip into San Pedro Town to finish the rest of our grocery shopping and have lunch. The skies looked like rain …
… but we decided to brave the weather. We rented a golf cart and started making stops — the bakery, a vegetable stand, and then a little grocery store.
The rain, which had been just a few drops, started to come down harder, so we decided to have lunch. We got almost all the way through the meal when the rain started coming down sideways and right into the open air restaurant. And it was cold! It was never cold last year!
We decided to head home on the water taxi and got caught in the torrential downpour on the way to their dock. It was actually pretty awesome. The kids, once under the roof of the dock, had fun peeking out at just how hard the rain was coming down.
Eventually we made it home, soaking wet but laughing. Later it cleared up enough to swim — my first dip in the pool this trip.
After dinner we watched Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory, which I’d brought with us because I just finished reading the book to the boys. Finn, who went napless today, didn’t make it and was asleep at 6:15 but Ezra loved it. And so, after all these years, did I.
