The bridge connecting Providencia to Santa Catalina

 

Looking towards the smaller island of Santa Catalina

 

 

Clean walkways along Santa Catalina Island

An unbelievably blue lizard

 

Looking towards the bigger island of Providencia

This is the only bridge that connects the two islands

Looking NE out towards the worlds 3rd largest barrier reef beyond the islands

Boys fishing between the cracks in the dock

 

 

 

If they catch a fish how would they get it out from the cracks in the dock?

The town of Providencia

Morgan’s Butt beyond the anchorage

Bruadair in paradise

One of many colorful benches along the walkway

 

 

The anchorage at Isla Providencia

 

 

More boys fishing

and with better success

 

 

 

A very small bar

 

 

Canons from the old forts that once guarded the anchorage

 

 

Half of the boats here are traveling north

The other half, like ourselves, are traveling South

A local paddling out to Bruadair to sell crabs

Looking West towards Morgan’s Head

Steep steps down to a small secluded beach

They seem steeper going back up

Aaron and Lyla cooling off after the long walk

 

David resting during our exploration of Santa Catalina

 

 

The houses here are brightly colored

 

 

 

 

David and Lyla inquiring with Barbara about getting laundry done

The boys proudly show off their catch as we walk back by

 

 

 

 

Unusual planters

 

 

A School

We find Jan and Dave from Winterlude

And join them for refreshments

 

Keith, a local, comes by to sell us black crabs

 

Keith shows David how to kill the crabs

We buy 14 for $4.34
Though some were much too small they were good
