Besos Bug Got Us

We couldn't resist the lure of an evening at Besos any longer.  Stopped in after my morning dives and made a reservation.  Left the house a little early for the reservation, intending to watch the sunset from somewhere in West End, but we mis-timed it a bit and ended up a few minutes too late.  The best we got was the early dusk from the beach at sundowners bar.

Dusk bonfire at Sundowners, the bar behind me was hopping.



From the picture you can see how calm the water is on the west side, not quite like it is here on the east.  Once we consumed out happy hour beer, we made our way to Besos.  The standard order of a Caesar for Eileen, one of the few places in the Caribbean that you can get one of those.  Of course we had the ranchero chicken wings as an appy, and for main course I had a lobster and Eileen had a chicken pasta.  Excellent as expected.
Did two dives this morning, a few more divers than has been the norm.  I think there were six of us.  One of them is a bit of a pain in the butt, the typical american who needs to learn a bit of etiquette, nuff said.  Several turtles, two or three clusters of juvenille drumfish, they might be one of the most delicate looking fish that there are, a freindly green moray, a number of different types of shrimp, and one caterpilar like guy that I'm going to have to look up at the dive shop on my next visit.  Here's a few pictures:

I'll call this a banded coral shrimp, for now.

A friendly little moray eel (they have to open their mouth for respiration)





No plans at all for tomorrow, although Eileen does want to get out snorkelling somewhere.  Forecast is unchanged; hot, sunny, and breezy.  Have to hit the northwest side to take advantage of this great weather.
