The woman playing was good, and the margaritas were refreshing.  I had some kind of fish wrap and coconut rice, which I&#8217;d never had before and it was so delicious that I&#8217;m going to look up recipes for it to make at home.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"400\" height=\"533\" src=\"https:\/\/graceuncensored.com\/WordPress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/f24.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-20755\" srcset=\"https:\/\/graceuncensored.com\/WordPress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/f24.jpg 400w, https:\/\/graceuncensored.com\/WordPress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/f24-225x300.jpg 225w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">We took the short walk back to our place and I&#8217;d never seen such fancy embellishments at any place I&#8217;ve ever stayed.

A guy was out there parasailing, although is that what it&#8217;s called?  I don&#8217;t think so.  I mean there&#8217;s a kite and there&#8217;s the guy on a surfboard.  Kitesurfing!

The pizza place was called Alba, in case you&#8217;re ever in the area, and it was outstanding.
