The next day Suzanne
was ready bright and early as I had my toast
and fruit
on this lovely plate
and then finished hers
and waited for Peter and Seva
to come through the brush with their suitcases
to store in our room
as we left the inn
to head towards the beach
where we saw these horses
who greeted us
as our first site before these traditional Caribbean scenes
as we unloaded the car
and headed to the beach
stopping to admire the fallen coconut
and wonder if it contained any milk.
Sun Beach
was elegant with light waves
as we set up
and admired the scene
and enjoyed the water before some rain came and we decided to drive on further.
We next entered the nature preserve
and drove on the bumpy roads
often seeing scenery like this
before we headed to the beach
at the point
and started to explore
to see what rocks
might be good for climbing by Peter
or might give good views
or might be good for Seva
to collect shells and look for sea glass while David
undoubtedly described the fish that got away.
Meanwhile, our collection of artifacts
was growing as Suzanne
and Peter and Seva
continued the search amid the rough seas
which had brought the shells through which Suzanne sifted
and of which Seva was choosing the very best
including this sea glass
as we did one last gather
put our treasure in the hat
and began the trek
back to the car
to head down this road
and continue the exploration along the bumpy road
until we found this hut at Blue Beach
and headed to the beach
after being sure that the bushes
were free of bandidos and the water
was clear.
But, before we could end the day, we needed to find the very elusive
Orchid Beach. After a number of wrong turns, we finally
found the left fork that came before the last right turn
and were rewarded with this great water scene
that amused Peter
and Suzanne
as I marched out to sea. After various hand signals
failed to orchestrate what could only be called a great possibility,
I was waved in
and slowly
made my way
back into the fold where this conch shell
and this guide sign
suggested that we had to head to this store in town
where I could be fitted for these shoes
by this gentleman
and then pay these women
who had just gotten decoder rings that let them take this picture
so that I'd always remember where my Teva's came from.
Peter and Seva
brought us the car keys and we stopped at this
Esso station
en route to see Tom Wright where surprisingly we took no pictures.
Dinner that night involved these beverages
which looked better without the flash
as my salad and potato
and Seva's BLT
and the shared salad
were drowned out by the cheers from the football fans. I did manage
to take the obligatory phone booth picture
even as Peter took the obligatory banana picture
so that we could end the day on the right tone.
