To Contadora

 

 

On Wednesday, we all got up early for our trip to the Pearl Islands.

 

The 2-hour ferry ride out into the Pacific started out with snacks

 

and ended up with naps.

 

 

 The ferry had to anchor off-shore--there is no pier on the small island on Contadora.  Maddie's greeting the rest of the gang as they leave the small dingy that brought us ashore in batches.

 We rented golf carts to get around--one per family.

 And it was into play-dough when we got to our rental house.

Then the beach, and then

 a tasty seafood dinner prepared for us in our home by an Italian chef.  Quite a nice first day!
