phone booth picture ../../../Sabbat/2008/01.12-18.08Antigua//P1170507 before seeing our favorite catamaran (as the stories grew) ../../../Sabbat/2008/01.12-18.08Antigua//P1170508 and the cruise ship that had docked for the day ../../../Sabbat/2008/01.12-18.08Antigua//P1170509 and capturing signs of the town including Natures Eyes, ../../../Sabbat/2008/01.12-18.08Antigua//P1170510 Mama Lolly's where we would return for lunch, ../../../Sabbat/2008/01.12-18.08Antigua//P1170511 and the Australian Ice Cream place. ../../../Sabbat/2008/01.12-18.08Antigua//P1170512 At Mama Lolly's we were happy to see their vegetarian signs and menu ../../../Sabbat/2008/01.12-18.08Antigua//P1170513 ../../../Sabbat/2008/01.12-18.08Antigua//P1170514 ../../../Sabbat/2008/01.12-18.08Antigua//P1170515 before we

../../../Sabbat/2008/01.12-18.08Antigua//P1170519 and once we found the Kramers, we returned to Mama Lolly's to admire the art work ../../../Sabbat/2008/01.12-18.08Antigua//P1170520 as we met Mama Lolly ../../../Sabbat/2008/01.12-18.08Antigua//P1170521 and took pictures of her foods ../../../Sabbat/2008/01.12-18.08Antigua//P1170522 even as our plates were being assembled ../../../Sabbat/2008/01.12-18.08Antigua//P1170523 ../../../Sabbat/2008/01.12-18.08Antigua//P1170524 which amused Peter ../../../Sabbat/2008/01.12-18.08Antigua//P1170525 Suzanne ../../../Sabbat/2008/01.12-18.08Antigua//P1170526 Seva ../../../Sabbat/2008/01.12-18.08Antigua//P1170527 and me ../../../Sabbat/2008/01.12-18.08Antigua//P1170528 as the sandwiches came ../../../Sabbat/2008/01.12-18.08Antigua//P1170529 ../../../Sabbat/2008/01.12-18.08Antigua//P1170530 along with the smoothie drinks ../../../Sabbat/2008/01.12-18.08Antigua//P1170531 ../../../Sabbat/2008/01.12-18.08Antigua//P1170532 and after a journey to the ScotiaBank ../../../Sabbat/2008/01.12-18.08Antigua//P1170533 and a quick stop at a sidewalk stand ../../../Sabbat/2008/01.12-18.08Antigua//P1170534 ../../../Sabbat/2008/01.12-18.08Antigua//P1170535 ../../../Sabbat/2008/01.12-18.08Antigua//P1170536 where the owner posed with Suzanne after her

../../../Sabbat/2008/01.12-18.08Antigua//P1170540 we drove on by the Public Market ../../../Sabbat/2008/01.12-18.08Antigua//P1170541 got gas ../../../Sabbat/2008/01.12-18.08Antigua//P1170542 ../../../Sabbat/2008/01.12-18.08Antigua//P1170543 as we noted the sign for Obama ../../../Sabbat/2008/01.12-18.08Antigua//P1170544 and made our way to this beach at Coco's Resort (adjacent to Ffryes Point) ../../../Sabbat/2008/01.12-18.08Antigua//P1170545 ../../../Sabbat/2008/01.12-18.08Antigua//P1170546 where this gentleman powed with Peter after selling us chairs ../../../Sabbat/2008/01.12-18.08Antigua//P1170547 and this gentleman came by promising various forms of healing which I eventually embraced ../../../Sabbat/2008/01.12-18.08Antigua//P1170548 ../../../Sabbat/2008/01.12-18.08Antigua//P1170549 as Suzanne and Seva came back from their swim. ../../../Sabbat/2008/01.12-18.08Antigua//P1170550 ../../../Sabbat/2008/01.12-18.08Antigua//P1170551

../../../Sabbat/2008/01.12-18.08Antigua//P1170558 ../../../Sabbat/2008/01.12-18.08Antigua//P1170559 I was also having my leg treated with strange and odd smelling chemicals ../../../Sabbat/2008/01.12-18.08Antigua//P1170560 even as this gentleman tried to sell me on the idea of paragliding ../../../Sabbat/2008/01.12-18.08Antigua//P1170561 and Peter slowly made his way back ../../../Sabbat/2008/01.12-18.08Antigua//P1170562 ../../../Sabbat/2008/01.12-18.08Antigua//P1170563 ../../../Sabbat/2008/01.12-18.08Antigua//P1170564 to observe that despite the treatment, my treated leg seemed to attract flies ../../../Sabbat/2008/01.12-18.08Antigua//P1170565 while my untreated leg (I did manage to eventually escape from the treatment) did not. ../../../Sabbat/2008/01.12-18.08Antigua//P1170566 All of this amused Suzanne as she marched back from the water ../../../Sabbat/2008/01.12-18.08Antigua//P1170567 ../../../Sabbat/2008/01.12-18.08Antigua//P1170568 ../../../Sabbat/2008/01.12-18.08Antigua//P1170569 ../../../Sabbat/2008/01.12-18.08Antigua//P1170570 ../../../Sabbat/2008/01.12-18.08Antigua//P1170571

../../../Sabbat/2008/01.12-18.08Antigua//P1170579 as our favorite catamaran came in ../../../Sabbat/2008/01.12-18.08Antigua//P1170580 ../../../Sabbat/2008/01.12-18.08Antigua//P1170581 as Seva and Peter tested the waters (and escaped the grip of the catamaran) ../../../Sabbat/2008/01.12-18.08Antigua//P1170582 ../../../Sabbat/2008/01.12-18.08Antigua//P1170583 before we headed to Turner's Beach ../../../Sabbat/2008/01.12-18.08Antigua//P1170584 where a boat in the distance ../../../Sabbat/2008/01.12-18.08Antigua//P1170585 appeared as we read the prayer for the old (which, I suppose begins to include us) ../../../Sabbat/2008/01.12-18.08Antigua//P1170586 and the Turner's menu ../../../Sabbat/2008/01.12-18.08Antigua//P1170587 before watching the sun ../../../Sabbat/2008/01.12-18.08Antigua//P1170588 and settling on the beach with our drinks ../../../Sabbat/2008/01.12-18.08Antigua//P1170589 ../../../Sabbat/2008/01.12-18.08Antigua//P1170590 only to see the catamaran arrive once ../../../Sabbat/2008/01.12-18.08Antigua//P1170591 ../../../Sabbat/2008/01.12-18.08Antigua//P1170592 as we swam ../../../Sabbat/2008/01.12-18.08Antigua//P1170593 ../../../Sabbat/2008/01.12-18.08Antigua//P1170594 ../../../Sabbat/2008/01.12-18.08Antigua//P1170595 ../../../Sabbat/2008/01.12-18.08Antigua//P1170596 and avoided its grip ../../../Sabbat/2008/01.12-18.08Antigua//P1170597 ../../../Sabbat/2008/01.12-18.08Antigua//P1170598 even as the sun began to set ../../../Sabbat/2008/01.12-18.08Antigua//P1170599 so that Peter and Seva settled in at the restaurant ../../../Sabbat/2008/01.12-18.08Antigua//P1170600 and we recorded the sun going down ../../../Sabbat/2008/01.12-18.08Antigua//P1170601 ../../../Sabbat/2008/01.12-18.08Antigua//P1170602 ../../../Sabbat/2008/01.12-18.08Antigua//P1170603 ../../../Sabbat/2008/01.12-18.08Antigua//P1170604 ../../../Sabbat/2008/01.12-18.08Antigua//P1170605

../../../Sabbat/2008/01.12-18.08Antigua//P1170613 so that Suzanne ../../../Sabbat/2008/01.12-18.08Antigua//P1170614 Peter ../../../Sabbat/2008/01.12-18.08Antigua//P1170615 Seva ../../../Sabbat/2008/01.12-18.08Antigua//P1170616 and I could prepare for dinner ../../../Sabbat/2008/01.12-18.08Antigua//P1170617 and have our drinks ../../../Sabbat/2008/01.12-18.08Antigua//P1170618 ../../../Sabbat/2008/01.12-18.08Antigua//P1170619 as the cat came back ../../../Sabbat/2008/01.12-18.08Antigua//P1170620 and placemats ../../../Sabbat/2008/01.12-18.08Antigua//P1170621 and coasters ../../../Sabbat/2008/01.12-18.08Antigua//P1170622 were out but didn't disguise our gear spread about ../../../Sabbat/2008/01.12-18.08Antigua//P1170623 as the condiments were served ../../../Sabbat/2008/01.12-18.08Antigua//P1170624 and the coke ../../../Sabbat/2008/01.12-18.08Antigua//P1170625 raised Peter's spirits ../../../Sabbat/2008/01.12-18.08Antigua//P1170626 as my vegetable curry ../../../Sabbat/2008/01.12-18.08Antigua//P1170627 Peter and Seva's burgers ../../../Sabbat/2008/01.12-18.08Antigua//P1170628 and Suzanne's lobster salad were served ../../../Sabbat/2008/01.12-18.08Antigua//P1170629 before the moon rose ../../../Sabbat/2008/01.12-18.08Antigua//P1170630 and we headed home later to enjoy a Wadadli, the local beer and the name given to our favorite catamaran ../../../Sabbat/2008/01.12-18.08Antigua//P1170631 ../../../Sabbat/2008/01.12-18.08Antigua//P1170632 ../../../Sabbat/2008/01.12-18.08Antigua//P1170633 ../../../Sabbat/2008/01.12-18.08Antigua//P1170634 and some papaya. ../../../Sabbat/2008/01.12-18.08Antigua//P1170635
