March, Part 2: White Beach, Southeast Botanical Gardens

The Sunday afternoon following our anniversary, we packed our bags and our snacks


and headed to White Beach, a peninsula south of us on the eastern side of the island. We stayed in a tiny log cabin, very similar to the one we stayed in during our first two weeks of marriage. It was a fun way to spend the week following our anniversary. We used the advantage of being half an hour further south to visit some of the sites farther down.

On Monday, our first stop was Southeast Botanical Gardens. In summary, it was a two part garden walk, full of flowers, trees, tropical plants, ponds, and lots of other neat things to see, all outdoors. 




There was a whole, um, patch, of these cows. You could paint them for a day if you liked. 








He was a spying goose.

The shoelace-hungry goat. He got mine as well.

There were a couple of these guys in a cage, which we were allowed into.

Along with the very snooty capybara.

After the gardens, we went to a local honey shop, where we bought the local flavor, alone with blueberry pomegranate flavored varieties. Definitely a place we will go again. 

Our last stop was a small nursery in the backyard of someone's home. And of course, we brought home a baby.
