Barbados- Day 2!

Happy August! (Good grief, summer is flying). 

Our second full day was a Sunday, so lots of stuff was closed. That said, we didn't even really notice because we were busy sunning ourselves on the beach most of the day :) 

The weather was awesome the whole trip, but there were a couple days where it rained for about 10 minutes every hour and a half or so. Honestly, it was kinda cool b/c it cleared out the beach. Our beach was never crowded, but when it rained and people scattered, it often felt like we had it all to ourselves. :)

Anyway, when it rained, a few folks (including us) would clamber under umbrellas to just wait it out and shield our towels, bags, books, etc.

How we killed time til the rain stopped... Sand tic tac toe... ha!

We can also thank the rain for making some friends! Another couple from Britain was taking cover under the same umbrella and they became our beach buds for the week. :)

I took a post-rain stroll down the beach and the saw that the beauty continued down the entire coast...

Our very busy agenda of beaching it up had to be interrupted with lunch. Guess what we found! A Mexican restaurant, Cafe Sol! 

View from lunch.... 

Took a post-lunch walk at "the split," a little area of restaurants, bars and shops. Everything was closed since it was Sunday, but it's a cute little place! :)

Eric finds property for sale on every vacation. I kinda love it. Please note: I'd be totally in favor of moving to Barbados.

So, I mentioned we met friends under the umbrella during the rain, right? On Sunday night, we went to dinner together! Eric, me, a couple from the east coast and our friends from Britain all had dinner at a fabulous restaurant, Brown Sugar. Sadly, I neglected to get a group pic. Blerg. I have one from later in the week, don't you worry. (I realize you weren't worried).

Eric looks burned. He wasn't. Strange lighting. Whatev. 

And that was day 2! :)
