The guys finished up a little early on Friday, so we took the rest of the afternoon for a well-deserved break at the beach. This time of year, you can find many of the beaches completely empty.

Pools Beach is just on the other side of the rocks from Sandy Beach down in Puntas.

I climbed up the rocks and enjoyed the view all the way down the beach on both sides.

 I even climbed the rocks barefoot!

It was a great break from building and a lovely day to spend at the beach.

On our way back to the truck we even spotted a great little wood house.

So cute and similar to our cabin!

We were admiring it when the owners came out and talked with us about it. The house is all wood and has been there, right across the beach for over 30 years! Who says you can’t have a wooden house in the tropics?! We asked them a lot of questions about the construction and they graciously gave us a short tour inside, even with our sandy toes.
