Since it's approaching the all famous Mardi Gras, and it's now Sunday, we pass by many families hiking into Laguna Azul. We think how fortuitous that we were able to enjoy this wonderland all to ourselves, if even for only an hour. Kellie has adopted a rather inventive strategy from being Silly Stringed in the face. Maybe they will take mercy on her if she parades around in a dunce hat? (this is the "bark" of a bamboo shoot)

Meanwhile, my Silly string avoidance strategy is much like an landing aircraft throws out chaff. I convince them to spray Keith while I take pics. This plan is almost flawless until they then fire on the photog as a "good measure"

Meanwhile, Blaster has decided to stay back at the parking lot. Having a $50K ankle at this point, a hike like this probably isn't what his vacation needs on the 3rd day of 10. He, however, has also found food and entertainment
