Big Corn Harbor   Apr 3, 2008

The harbor on Big Corn Island where you catch the panga to Little Corn. The boats are timed with the flights so it isn't hard to skip Big Corn, which has some nice beaches, but felt decidedly less friendly.

View From Our Porch   Apr 3, 2008

We got very very lucky and managed to score a room at Carlito's Sunrise Paradise, which is probably the best place on the island.

Porch Morning   Apr 4, 2008

The sun rose early. Very early and it was plenty warm by 7 AM.

Carlito's Sunrise Paradise   Apr 4, 2008

A few cabins, a few shaded tables and a main seating area. Basic, but more than enough. The clouds would roll through every so often but it never rained for more than five minutes and it was never overcast for more than ten.

Corrinne relaxing on the porch.

Little Corn's Endless Beach   Apr 4, 2008

With a couple of excptions -- the rocky areas at each of the island and the harbor on the other side -- this is basically what Little Corn looks like.

More Endless Beaches   Apr 4, 2008

Looking north, up toward where the good snorkeling was, or so I hear, since I was never able to motivate and try out that end of the island.

The View From Our Bed   Apr 6, 2008

Mozzy netting and all.

Sunny Beaches   Apr 7, 2008

This is what Little Corn looked like 90% of the time, never mind the cloudy images I posted.

Snorkel Trips   Apr 7, 2008

I just couldn't be bothered to snorkel this time out. Kenso, Melissa and I did swim out the reef right in front of Carlito's place, but there wasn't much to see. Still everyone who went on the trips raved about them.

Puppy   Apr 7, 2008

Looked a bit like some sort of horribly wrong pig/dog cross breed, but he was sweet.

We met a lot of great people on the islands.

Friends   Apr 8, 2008

Caroline, Sasha, Corrinne, Kenso and Mellisa

Inland   Apr 8, 2008

There are no motorized vehicles on Little Corn (and no electricity), getting around means walking through the maze of jungle paths

Night Shot   Apr 8, 2008

The beach at night. That's Casa Iguana, another guesthouse, glowing in the distance.

North End Little Corn Island   Apr 9, 2008

One day I decided to walk around the island.

Palms   Apr 9, 2008

For some reason the tips of islands seem to be the most photogenic parts of an island

Palm, Sky   Apr 9, 2008

The Rocky Shore   Apr 9, 2008

The north end of the island is bit rockier and has better reefs.

Corn Islands-37   Apr 9, 2008

Noni   Apr 9, 2008

A curious fruit that apparently is quite expensive at your local hippie grocery store (used for Vim and Vigor, so I'm told)/

The Futbol Field   Apr 9, 2008

Where our Canadian and French friends went one day to play the locals. They came back covered ing blood and with a probably broken finger here and there, but claimed to have won both games.

The Friends of No One   Apr 9, 2008

I spent a fair amount of time studying this sign... If you look closely you'll notice that the couples friends are... themselves repeated in slightly different poses. So either you drink Victoria and you see more of yourself (true, I can vouch for it) or you drink Victoria and you end up with no friends.

Little Corn Island Little League Team   Apr 9, 2008

These kids and their coach came around looking for donations one day so I gave them a few dollars. Little League would have been way more fun if it had involved long boat rides before every game.

Sasha and the Coconut   Apr 10, 2008

On the Corn Islands you can say things like "Can I get a coke and machette?" and you'll get what you asked for. We discovered the day before that if you rinse coconut meat in the ocean (because, for instance, you dropped in in the sand) it gives it a very nice salty savory flavor.

Little Corn Sunset   Apr 10, 2008

We were staying on the eastern shore and this was the only time we made it over to the west side to catch the sunset.

The Harbor   Apr 10, 2008

The west side of the island is where you arrive by boat and where the main village area is located.

Sunset Fishing Boats   Apr 10, 2008

Caroline Looking for Sea Glass   Apr 10, 2008

Corrinne has a fascination with sea glass (glass that's been polished smooth by years in the ocean) and she got Caroline and Dan looking for it too.

Casa Iguana   Apr 10, 2008

Our last night on Little Corn. Me, Amy, Corrinne, Caroline and Sasha's arm.

The Corn Dog Fruit   Apr 11, 2008

I have no idea what these are, but they look like corn dogs.

Goodbyes   Apr 11, 2008

Ali, Caroline, Amy, Sasha's Mom, Sasha and Corrinne just before most of us (except Ali, he lives there, and Sasha's mom, she's building a house on Little Corn) got on the boat to go home. I hate goodbyes.
