Culebrita

On to Culebrita for an exciting day of hiking to the top of the mountain to the light house, and then over to the rock formations called the "jacuzzi's" where there were many pools with little fish.  We had to push the dingy out into the surf to leave, Kirk hopped in and Nathan Sarah and I swam out to the boat.  It was heaven.

Lighthouse at the top of mountain.  It was a steep hill in some places on the trail.  We saw lots of lizards and hermit crabs on the trail.

Nathan climbing rusty stairs to top of lighthouse.  Nathan, kirk and Sarah went to top.

Donna and Kirk with a birds eye view of the Atlantic Ocean

Sarah, Donna and Nathan with lighthouse in back.  We think we were standing on the floor of a past structure.

Sarah talking to Donna standing in doorway.

View of our boat.  Notice the big rock formation beyond the boats.  The jacuzzi's are to the right of it.  It was fabulous.

View from top of lighthouse.  notice breakers all around the entrance

Looking down the rickety, rusty stairs of the lighthouse. Sarah's knee and hat in window.

Nathan also known as Mr Daredevil himself.  Always has been.Sarah.  Need I say more.  Perfect for nathan

L to R little people:  Sarah, Donna and Nathan. Kirk was standing up on a ledge on other side. (I wonder where Nathan gets it???)

Notice the little pools that have filled when the water crashed in.  This pic was a wave going out.  It got rougher as the morning progressed and more water was coming in further.

Cactus growing out the side of rocks.  There were trees, various kinds of cactus, scrubs, tall grasses all growing on this one little rock peninsula.   Way cool.  There were green slate slabs and other colors in the rocks.
