Golf carts, the preferred method of transportation on the island. In fact, cars aren't even allowed.

At the very top of the island (called the "split"). This little bridge connected these two islands, but it crumbled a few years ago.

Ricky's tasty dish: snapper and shrimp wrapped in a banana leaf. Later I ate part of the habanero (upper right corner of the plate) and suffered.
