Back on Land, 2 of 2

After a day full of adventure in the British Virgin Islands, Kevin and I walked around Cruz Bay, stopping at Starfish Marketplace. It's a long walk from Lind Point. We started out with the intention of having a light snack but as soon as we started reading the menu items at Happy Fish, dinner became the mission. I got happy noodles, Kevin some teriyaki chicken noddle bowl, and we shared an order of some delicious sushi. Oh, and there was edamame. I love the salt-crusted freshly steamed soy pods. After dinner, we hardly had room for dessert, but I did manage to get some cookies and chocolate at the grocery store before we walked home.

The long walk up Northshore Road (we forgot a flashlight and thus could not take the trail back up the hill) was a little scary. Fortunately, there was not a single car to pass us as we walked up the steep incline. By the time I got home, I was almost too tired to move. I think being on “vacation” means do as much as possible in a single day, while you're someplace cool. I perhaps achieved that goal today. I did eventually stir myself long enough to shower and really get ready for bed before passing out.
