San Pedro

La Isla Bonita
by Madonna

Como puede ese olvidar
[or Como puede ser verdad]

Last night I dreamt of San Pedro
Just like I’d never gone, I knew the song
A young girl with eyes like the desert
It all seems like yesterday, not far away

Tropical the island breeze
All of nature wild and free
This is where I long to be
La isla bonita
And when the samba played
The sun would set so high
Ring through my ears and sting my eyes
Your Spanish lullaby

I fell in love with San Pedro
Warm wind carried on the sea, he called to me
Te dijo te amo
I prayed that the days would last
They went so fast

Tropical the island breeze
All of nature wild and free
This is where I long to be
La isla bonita
And when the samba played
The sun would set so high
Ring through my ears and sting my eyes
Your Spanish lullaby

I want to be where the sun warms the sky
When it’s time for siesta you can watch them go by
Beautiful faces, no cares in this world
Where a girl loves a boy, and a boy loves a girl

Last night I dreamt of San Pedro
It all seems like yesterday, not far away

Go to San Pedro and you’ll understand what she means when she sings this song. I can’t say enough wonderful things about San Pedro. I’m DEFINITELY going back. :)

San Pedro was nice but I think it was far too expenisive! I loved the sea and the food, but that was about it…

This is the home to my first open water dive. I was spoiled! Great marine life. It’s a perfect place to meet other divers and just get away from it all. Not much of a night life but if you want relax, this was a nice spot to do it.

...and feel blessed to have grown up in such a mindbogglingly beautiful place that, at the time, seemed so isolated from the rest of the world… it was truly a surreal and unforgettable experience…

I’ve heard it’s changed a lot since I was there, but I’m sure it’s still worth a visit; I’d like to go back someday…

I got married here almost 3 years ago, best time of my life! A wedding and honeymoon all in one. I cant wait to return to sink my toes in the sand and feel the warm water around me, the reef is a awesome thing to see and I cant wait to kayak out to see it again.
