WARNING: “You are about to enter the Twilight Zone”… is the sign that should be posted outside La Parguera ! Time Warp ? Blackhole? Fourth Dimension ? Maybe just plain strange….
La Par is a good sized town which, as we mentioned, has it’s own “code of conduct”….saying you can’t do this and that. What appears to have happened is that everyone got up and left or more accurately escaped. It is a ghost town !! Think of a movie set where the buildings exist, but that’s it. There are several very large restaurants, stores and a mall….all closed. Even the Post Office was closed and relocated (mailed itself?) out of town !! We have seen only a couple of old men walking around the empty streets devoid of cars; pretty much in a daze. We would love to know what happened to this place….but there is no one to ask. The only rational explanation is that aliens landed and abducted the entire population, and there was no one left with a cell phone to call in gone.
THE CREW is very happy that Persephone is completely self sufficient; as there are NO support services here. So, we had to make our own fun….Last nite, THE CREW and the crew of Dancing Dolphin hopped in the dinghies and headed off into the dark to find the bioluminescent lagoon. We found the lagoon about 2+ miles up the coast. It was pretty neat….every slash caused the water to light up and glow. The dinghy motor agitated the water making it look like we had a star trail behind us. We shut down the motor and listened to the night sounds of the mangrove forest….the only manmade sound was the “gusssshhh” of a coldie being opened (from our dinghy, of course). The moon was nearly full, so the effect of the luminescence was somewhat diminished; but it was such a warm, beautiful night none of us cared.
As we dinghied passed La Pa on our way back to Persephone, the lights were still on, but no one was home……
