On Tuesday we decided to locate near home at Dickinson Bay but first Suzanne inspected the towels on the line (in one of the few nights when rain didn't make them wetter) ../../../Sabbat/2008/01.12-18.08Antigua//P1170636 and then we walked past this lovely sign ../../../Sabbat/2008/01.12-18.08Antigua//P1170637 to record some concessions on the beach ../../../Sabbat/2008/01.12-18.08Antigua//P1170638 ../../../Sabbat/2008/01.12-18.08Antigua//P1170639 and this touching marker on a palm tree about a couple who met, had their first date, were engaged and were married all at the Coconut Grove at this spot. ../../../Sabbat/2008/01.12-18.08Antigua//P1170640 With this warm feeling, we walked back home and joined Seva ../../../Sabbat/2008/01.12-18.08Antigua//P1170641 and Peter on the patio ../../../Sabbat/2008/01.12-18.08Antigua//P1170642 as I took this self portrait ../../../Sabbat/2008/01.12-18.08Antigua//P1170643 and Seva passed judgment on our sea glass ../../../Sabbat/2008/01.12-18.08Antigua//P1170644 before we noticed the bird in the tree

and we decided to go looking for fresh bread at a bakery which had become Chef's World and didn't meet our needs ../../../Sabbat/2008/01.12-18.08Antigua//P1170649 though at Rituals ../../../Sabbat/2008/01.12-18.08Antigua//P1170650 we observed the menu ../../../Sabbat/2008/01.12-18.08Antigua//P1170651 and Peter ordered ../../../Sabbat/2008/01.12-18.08Antigua//P1170652 as Seva and

../../../Sabbat/2008/01.12-18.08Antigua//P1170656 and then we made our way home for my breakfast ../../../Sabbat/2008/01.12-18.08Antigua//P1170657 before heading to the beach where this woman sold us our beach chairs and shade ../../../Sabbat/2008/01.12-18.08Antigua//P1170658 ../../../Sabbat/2008/01.12-18.08Antigua//P1170659 ../../../Sabbat/2008/01.12-18.08Antigua//P1170660 as we admired the beach ../../../Sabbat/2008/01.12-18.08Antigua//P1170661 and the woman reading her book in the water ../../../Sabbat/2008/01.12-18.08Antigua//P1170662 before Seva and Peter ../../../Sabbat/2008/01.12-18.08Antigua//P1170663 decided to ask her what she was reading ../../../Sabbat/2008/01.12-18.08Antigua//P1170664 ../../../Sabbat/2008/01.12-18.08Antigua//P1170665 and Seva brought back the answer (a Jeffrey Deaver book that wasn't so good) ../../../Sabbat/2008/01.12-18.08Antigua//P1170666 as the fishing boat went by ../../../Sabbat/2008/01.12-18.08Antigua//P1170667 and I studied my untreated leg ../../../Sabbat/2008/01.12-18.08Antigua//P1170668 while this gentleman tried to sell me some services ../../../Sabbat/2008/01.12-18.08Antigua//P1170669 while a paraglider in the distance ../../../Sabbat/2008/01.12-18.08Antigua//P1170670 and this rock off shore ../../../Sabbat/2008/01.12-18.08Antigua//P1170671 did little to hide the catamaran that motivated our creative

us (and hope for food). ../../../Sabbat/2008/01.12-18.08Antigua//P1170680 ../../../Sabbat/2008/01.12-18.08Antigua//P1170681 ../../../Sabbat/2008/01.12-18.08Antigua//P1170682

line ../../../Sabbat/2008/01.12-18.08Antigua//P1170691 to see if I was sober enough to take this picture of the moon ../../../Sabbat/2008/01.12-18.08Antigua//P1170692 as this coconut ../../../Sabbat/2008/01.12-18.08Antigua//P1170693 amused Seva and Peter ../../../Sabbat/2008/01.12-18.08Antigua//P1170694 ../../../Sabbat/2008/01.12-18.08Antigua//P1170695

../../../Sabbat/2008/01.12-18.08Antigua//P1170718 ../../../Sabbat/2008/01.12-18.08Antigua//P1170719 ../../../Sabbat/2008/01.12-18.08Antigua//P1170720 before Seva was sent off to form a distraction so that we could identify the place from which our neighbors came (ultimately it was Manchester, England, England, across the Atlantic Sea) and we could head home

../../../Sabbat/2008/01.12-18.08Antigua//P1170724 as we observed the setting sun ../../../Sabbat/2008/01.12-18.08Antigua//P1170725 but our best efforts could not get the cat
