So we decided to blow off some steam at the beach.  This time we made it past the military checkpoint (only after some very invigorating frisking by the local army guys – they were very thorough) and on to Maruata.  Just a stunningly beautiful place. Not everybody on the team made it but those who did had a ball.  The only real downside was Hurricane Jimena – we forgot to check the weather before we left and only learned later that we had camped right in the path of a category 4 hurricane.  Luckily it arrived just as we were leaving.  We were having breakfast on the beach on Sunday when the rain and wind came up.  We knew that it was time to go when all of our plates blew away.  We made it back by Sunday night and were hard at work by Monday morning.
