Monday started with coffee
and espresso
but the toast was burnt
and so a second try was needed
as we admired the view and especially the weather
and headed out
past the beautiful flowers
to Friar's Bay
where this rule was not followed precisely
but the beach was very welcoming
as we met this person who did Kenny Rodgers imitations
and righted a live crab on the beach
as the search for sea glass began
causing us to walk the length of the beach
and follow this trail
with a few more drops of sea glass
and a missed turn that introduced us to this cow
before we made our way
to Happy Bay
where there was some gathering of sea glass (a rare commodity on the island)
and the wave that knocked Suzanne and Seva down so that efforts to remove sand were undertaken
initially with little success judging from their rasta like hair
as Peter explored means of sand removal
and Suzanne led the way down the beach
to its rocky end
where we met this couple -- he from England, she from the Phillipines
who took this picture of us
before we discovered the local beach bar which sold water, soda and beer
and recorded the beach sign
before finding this marker that gave the correct way to Happy Bay
as we headed back through the woods
to Friar's Bay where a few droplets of rain were falling and so we sat under cover at the restaurant
and enjoyed the menu
as our drinks arrived
selected from the drink menu
and the grill menu was produced
as our French fries arrived
along with a shared salad
and elegantly provided cutlery
as more drinks arrived
and our key was recorded
with this philosophical message
as we settled up with the psycho waiter
and claimed our chairs and umbrella with the rocks we had gathered.
Back at home, Peter tried his hand at making pina coladas
with pineapple
and accompanied by cheese
and this small pizza from the boulangerie
as I recorded the artistic droplets on the counter
that came from my drink
and we tasted some of the pastries that had come from the boulangerie
along with the cooked pizza.
