Day 6   7/25/09

I’m stopping at Belly Buttons for breakfast this morning. Just had a simple two eggs over easy and toast and coffee, but it was good and it was light. I was early and not too many folks were out yet after a Friday night of a double holiday weekend, the last before kids return to school and the last two Puerto Rican holidays for a while. From there I was off to my office in Isabel Segunda. Roy’s does have the best coffee on the island. While there, I fixed a business owner’s laptop, and arranged an appointment with Dave Evans Nan-Sea Charters to redo his website. He and Chip have worked hard to build a great dive business not only by their professionalism, but by their extensive scouting of new and great dive sights.

I grabbed lunch to go at Trade Winds on my way to my appointment with Dave, and now I’m just spending the remainder of the afternoon relaxing on my terrace, while I decide if I’m going to do anything at all tonight.

I decided to go to Bili for Dinner. I haven’t seen Eva, the owner, in a long time. She used to cook for the Governor of Puerto Rico in the Governor’s mansion, and was a caterer in San Juan for a long time and has now settled in Vieques to open Amapola Guesthouse and Bili Restaurant. Her food has always been great in the past, but I hadn’t heard much about it in a few years.

The meal I had was excellent. I had the skirt steak and it was medium rare and tender as promised. The flavors were really good and the salad was a self-styled “Island Caesar.”

The pièce de résistance though was the dessert, which was a guava crème torte with homemade guava ice cream. I headed home full and satisfied.
