We are huge street food fans so you can imagine our delight at finding food carts lining the Arawak Kay beach on the first day of our recent island vacation. The food truck scene in our hometown of Columbus, Ohio is more varied and delicious but will never match the Bahamas view!

By the time you read this, we'll be flying to San Salvador Island in the Bahamas.
San Sal or Watling's Island is a 36 square mile karst island in the Caribbean. It is a relatively remote place. Other than an exclusive Club Med resort, there are very few tourist spots beyond the miles of beach.
I went to San Salvador Island on a research trip with the Earth Sciences department at the Ohio State University in 2002. We snorkelled, hiked, and observed nature. I hope that this return visit will be as relaxing and beautiful.
We are a little nervous about finding good food. There are only a few restaurants and little information about grocery stores. Alex bought a (six foot long, barbed) fish spear to try his hand at catching some of the local seafood. I will, of course, document what he catches (or how he hurts himself) and what we cook so that others who might plan a vacation have more info than I did.
As Internet connectively will likely be lax, I've set up a vacation from my writing for you in the form of a totally new voice. My dad Mitch has compose a three part story that will hopefully entertain you. They will definitely illuminate the roots of my passion for writing and serial DIY projects.
Have a wonderful weekend! See you in early March!
