On Wednesday we realized that we had spent many days building up to the half moon, so that it was time to go see Half Moon Bay where we posed in front of the beautiful beach

../../../Sabbat/2008/01.12-18.08Antigua//P1170761 until Suzanne ../../../Sabbat/2008/01.12-18.08Antigua//P1170762 and I posed ../../../Sabbat/2008/01.12-18.08Antigua//P1170763 and then began a trek through the rocks ../../../Sabbat/2008/01.12-18.08Antigua//P1170764 ../../../Sabbat/2008/01.12-18.08Antigua//P1170765 ../../../Sabbat/2008/01.12-18.08Antigua//P1170766 ../../../Sabbat/2008/01.12-18.08Antigua//P1170767 as Peter attempted to find a passage to the next beach (there are 365 to reach) ../../../Sabbat/2008/01.12-18.08Antigua//P1170768 ../../../Sabbat/2008/01.12-18.08Antigua//P1170769 as Seva and Suzanne sat ../../../Sabbat/2008/01.12-18.08Antigua//P1170770 ../../../Sabbat/2008/01.12-18.08Antigua//P1170771

come from as we headed back ../../../Sabbat/2008/01.12-18.08Antigua//P1170775 ../../../Sabbat/2008/01.12-18.08Antigua//P1170776 ../../../Sabbat/2008/01.12-18.08Antigua//P1170777

were nice enough to take this group picture of us ../../../Sabbat/2008/01.12-18.08Antigua//P1170785 and then Peter took the camera and recorded Suzanne, Seva and me walking down the beach ../../../Sabbat/2008/01.12-18.08Antigua//P1170786 ../../../Sabbat/2008/01.12-18.08Antigua//P1170787 me testing the water ../../../Sabbat/2008/01.12-18.08Antigua//P1170788 and my careful attempt to use just enough lotion to get an even tan on my face ../../../Sabbat/2008/01.12-18.08Antigua//P1170789 ../../../Sabbat/2008/01.12-18.08Antigua//P1170790 before I walked down the beach in the other

in the car ../../../Sabbat/2008/01.12-18.08Antigua//P1170800 because time was passing ../../../Sabbat/2008/01.12-18.08Antigua//P1170801 and so we drove past the sign honoring the best perform minister ../../../Sabbat/2008/01.12-18.08Antigua//P1170802 to Harmony House ../../../Sabbat/2008/01.12-18.08Antigua//P1170803 with a great view down to the sea ../../../Sabbat/2008/01.12-18.08Antigua//P1170804 ../../../Sabbat/2008/01.12-18.08Antigua//P1170805 and this menu ../../../Sabbat/2008/01.12-18.08Antigua//P1170806 from which water came first ../../../Sabbat/2008/01.12-18.08Antigua//P1170807 after which Suzanne ../../../Sabbat/2008/01.12-18.08Antigua//P1170808 Peter ../../../Sabbat/2008/01.12-18.08Antigua//P1170809 Seva ../../../Sabbat/2008/01.12-18.08Antigua//P1170810 and I

../../../Sabbat/2008/01.12-18.08Antigua//P1170814 salad ../../../Sabbat/2008/01.12-18.08Antigua//P1170815 with balsamic vinegar ../../../Sabbat/2008/01.12-18.08Antigua//P1170816 and oil

../../../Sabbat/2008/01.12-18.08Antigua//P1170820 shrimp ../../../Sabbat/2008/01.12-18.08Antigua//P1170821 and a lobster dish ../../../Sabbat/2008/01.12-18.08Antigua//P1170822 before we admired their lobsters in the tank ../../../Sabbat/2008/01.12-18.08Antigua//P1170823 ../../../Sabbat/2008/01.12-18.08Antigua//P1170824 and headed down to the dock where the boat ../../../Sabbat/2008/01.12-18.08Antigua//P1170825 waited on their beach ../../../Sabbat/2008/01.12-18.08Antigua//P1170826 and as we observed the half moon ../../../Sabbat/2008/01.12-18.08Antigua//P1170827 ../../../Sabbat/2008/01.12-18.08Antigua//P1170828 our captain ../../../Sabbat/2008/01.12-18.08Antigua//P1170829 launched the ship ../../../Sabbat/2008/01.12-18.08Antigua//P1170830 ../../../Sabbat/2008/01.12-18.08Antigua//P1170831 ../../../Sabbat/2008/01.12-18.08Antigua//P1170832 ../../../Sabbat/2008/01.12-18.08Antigua//P1170833

lizards under this tree ../../../Sabbat/2008/01.12-18.08Antigua//P1170836 ../../../Sabbat/2008/01.12-18.08Antigua//P1170837 and then headed to the neighboring beach

../../../Sabbat/2008/01.12-18.08Antigua//P1170842 where for that moment the purple sandal was the only sign that life had been there ../../../Sabbat/2008/01.12-18.08Antigua//P1170843 and so we enjoyed sand ../../../Sabbat/2008/01.12-18.08Antigua//P1170844 ../../../Sabbat/2008/01.12-18.08Antigua//P1170845 and sea ../../../Sabbat/2008/01.12-18.08Antigua//P1170846 ../../../Sabbat/2008/01.12-18.08Antigua//P1170847 ../../../Sabbat/2008/01.12-18.08Antigua//P1170848 ../../../Sabbat/2008/01.12-18.08Antigua//P1170849 and explored ../../../Sabbat/2008/01.12-18.08Antigua//P1170850 finding some nice shells ../../../Sabbat/2008/01.12-18.08Antigua//P1170851 ../../../Sabbat/2008/01.12-18.08Antigua//P1170852 before Peter returned from his snorkeling adventure ../../../Sabbat/2008/01.12-18.08Antigua//P1170853 and this gentleman asked where he was ../../../Sabbat/2008/01.12-18.08Antigua//P1170854 as we admired the views from the island ../../../Sabbat/2008/01.12-18.08Antigua//P1170855 ../../../Sabbat/2008/01.12-18.08Antigua//P1170856 ../../../Sabbat/2008/01.12-18.08Antigua//P1170857

back. ../../../Sabbat/2008/01.12-18.08Antigua//P1170861 ../../../Sabbat/2008/01.12-18.08Antigua//P1170862 On our journey back home, we paused at Long Bay to check out the beach though the ride there was enough to convince us we would not be returning. ../../../Sabbat/2008/01.12-18.08Antigua//P1170863 ../../../Sabbat/2008/01.12-18.08Antigua//P1170864

mystery picture was taken ../../../Sabbat/2008/01.12-18.08Antigua//P1170868 before the vegetables were cut ../../../Sabbat/2008/01.12-18.08Antigua//P1170869 ../../../Sabbat/2008/01.12-18.08Antigua//P1170870 and cooked up ../../../Sabbat/2008/01.12-18.08Antigua//P1170871 ../../../Sabbat/2008/01.12-18.08Antigua//P1170872

../../../Sabbat/2008/01.12-18.08Antigua//P1170877 this wine was opened ../../../Sabbat/2008/01.12-18.08Antigua//P1170878 and the eggs were made ../../../Sabbat/2008/01.12-18.08Antigua//P1170879 to go with the wine glasses ../../../Sabbat/2008/01.12-18.08Antigua//P1170880 and make this delightful dinner at home ../../../Sabbat/2008/01.12-18.08Antigua//P1170881 as my admiration of my treated leg ../../../Sabbat/2008/01.12-18.08Antigua//P1170882 was only interrupted by the popsicles that were there to eat. ../../../Sabbat/2008/01.12-18.08Antigua//P1170883
