Leeward side


It has been raining all day so there have been no excursions. This is not a big deal for us because of the length of our stay, but missing a day for short term visitors is a greater problem. The locals are pleased because this is the dry side of the island and they needed rain. Weather comes from the windward side of the island (north and east) and we are on the leeward side (west). This is the opposite of the way things work in the midwest where weather tends to come from the west and north. I guess the weather has to move over the island to get to us and because of the mountains in the middle this means our side gets much less moisture.


Restaurant dining is not weather dependent and there was a crowd as tourists looked for something to do. Jackie Rey's is considered upscale dining for the locals. I translate that as Jackie Rey's is not located in a fancy hotel. Food was great.
