from our villa
as Suzanne had her fruit salad
sans hot sauce
and Seva had her cereal
while I miraculously had granola
before the rains came
as we chatted with this British couple
who were getting ready to depart. Back in the room, Suzanne read
as the rain water hit the pool
and puddles formed
by the golf course. We decided to drive around the island and headed
to Fisherman's Cay where the views of the Caribbean were nice
as waves splashed in
and Suzanne gathered shells
while the scene got darker
on the deserted beach
as I checked the water
Peter studied the map
and through this view
Suzanne showed off her finds
before we headed for West End where the cell phones worked
and a boat sat ready for action
so we decided to drive to Road Town and explore. Once in Road Town, we
passed a shop
and then went into the grocery store where we found cheese
and even the ever elusive Gouda cheese
before deciding not to go to the barber/braid shop
but rather got back in the car
and ate peanuts
as we continued our exploring until we reached Rudy's Bar
and took pictures of their sign
and license plates
before checking the car
and driving off from K's Beauty Supply
for Brewer's Beach where the bar was closed
but roosters

we saw a few on the other side
amid the nice sea scene
and more roosters
and a camp site
before we departed for Cane Garden Beach where Peter
Seva
and Suzanne
discovered the tire swing
against the beach backdrop
by the bar
and eventually decided to go for a swing
before we headed back to the hotel and our bottle of champagne (eat your
heart out ... )
as we watched rain fall into the pool
and assembled around the bottle
some cheese and crackers
from our excursion into town. Peter removed the wrapping
and gripped the cork
and removed it
and poured
for the group toast
that made Peter
Seva
Suzanne
and me
happy and made the sky begin to clear
as the Merrill Lynch people
gathered at the pool bar and we decided to head off for dinner.
Due to some confusion about the current year, we were not able to go to
our first pick of restaurants and so went to Fat Hog Bob's where we
had the specialty of the house drink
and salt fish patties (because of the rain)
and pumpkin soup
before blackened grouper
chicken
and salad
topped off by their home made ice cream
and a unique experience with a 19 year old girl being locked in the men's room
that amused us for the ride home.
