On their second day in Guantanamo Bay we went Kayaking in the bay. The water was perfect for this little adventure. At the Marina we met a few other friends who were also visiting. Kayaking here is super easy and really inexpensive. We rented 4 double Kayaks for 8 people and 1 single. We traveled through a mangrove tunnel, down a little canal and back. Along the way we spotted several bright red star fish. Beautiful creatures on the bay floor feasting on grass and other organisms I'm sure. Cost of this mini adventure $10.00.
After kayaking we took them on a driving tour of the base. It really doesn't take long but we took our time and went up JPJ, the tallest peak and home to our wind turbines. It was nice to be able to see as far as one can see. The Atlantic Ocean looks impressive from this point.
We later went out for lunch at the Cuban Club. Food was delicious and eating outdoors was nice. Kind of reminds me of home, Dominican Republic. We met up with my friend Michelle and her little man Giovanni.
We spent some time just lounging and digesting before taking our dog Honey to Ferry Landing Beach. She can chase that ball in and out of the water like a pro. A trip to the beach wouldn't be complete without a small collection sea glass and sea shells.
We finished off the day with dinner and then off to a wine tasting party with friends. That was a lot of fun. I love the people I've me here. Seems we can get together without much notice and without drama we can have a great time. I will miss this when I'm gone.
I feel like we did just about everything there is to do all in one day but no, there's more. This was only day one. I believe everyone had a great time, maybe asking for a little down time.... hmmm, I don't know about that.
On to another great day... good night!!
