Wednesday morning, as Suzanne slept
../../../Sabbat/2005/01.05-12.05Tortola//IMG_1008
I considered the clothes
../../../Sabbat/2005/01.05-12.05Tortola//IMG_1009
and we made our way
../../../Sabbat/2005/01.05-12.05Tortola//IMG_1010
to breakfast
../../../Sabbat/2005/01.05-12.05Tortola//IMG_1011
where there was no herbal tea, just Lipton
../../../Sabbat/2005/01.05-12.05Tortola//IMG_1012
and the self portrait
../../../Sabbat/2005/01.05-12.05Tortola//IMG_1013
and self portraits
../../../Sabbat/2005/01.05-12.05Tortola//IMG_1014
../../../Sabbat/2005/01.05-12.05Tortola//IMG_1015
came out well as the beach scene
../../../Sabbat/2005/01.05-12.05Tortola//IMG_1016
welcomed Seva and Peter
../../../Sabbat/2005/01.05-12.05Tortola//IMG_1017
in Peter's new shirt
../../../Sabbat/2005/01.05-12.05Tortola//IMG_1018
as Andrea
../../../Sabbat/2005/01.05-12.05Tortola//IMG_1019
appeared
to assure us that there would be salt fish and johnnycakes as Peter
../../../Sabbat/2005/01.05-12.05Tortola//IMG_1020
audited his expenses before the salt fish
../../../Sabbat/2005/01.05-12.05Tortola//IMG_1021
and johnnycakes
../../../Sabbat/2005/01.05-12.05Tortola//IMG_1022
arrived though they did not evoke the expected reaction from Seva
../../../Sabbat/2005/01.05-12.05Tortola//IMG_1023
though my johnnycake
../../../Sabbat/2005/01.05-12.05Tortola//IMG_1024
was good enough to make up for the lack of granola or of a suitable substitute
so I had French toast
../../../Sabbat/2005/01.05-12.05Tortola//IMG_1025
with rum butter
../../../Sabbat/2005/01.05-12.05Tortola//IMG_1026
once more. After some lounging
../../../Sabbat/2005/01.05-12.05Tortola//IMG_1027
at the pool
../../../Sabbat/2005/01.05-12.05Tortola//IMG_1028
and an attempt at a close up
../../../Sabbat/2005/01.05-12.05Tortola//IMG_1029
and a picture in bad lighting
../../../Sabbat/2005/01.05-12.05Tortola//IMG_1030
it was time to gather our possessions into our suitcases
../../../Sabbat/2005/01.05-12.05Tortola//IMG_1031
../../../Sabbat/2005/01.05-12.05Tortola//IMG_1032
and carryons
../../../Sabbat/2005/01.05-12.05Tortola//IMG_1033
../../../Sabbat/2005/01.05-12.05Tortola//IMG_1034
to take a few more pictures while waiting
../../../Sabbat/2005/01.05-12.05Tortola//IMG_1035
../../../Sabbat/2005/01.05-12.05Tortola//IMG_1036
../../../Sabbat/2005/01.05-12.05Tortola//IMG_1037
and to head into Road Town to the Mill Mall
../../../Sabbat/2005/01.05-12.05Tortola//IMG_1038
where the only attraction was the health food restaurant
../../../Sabbat/2005/01.05-12.05Tortola//IMG_1039
and then across the way to the Joshua J Smith Building
../../../Sabbat/2005/01.05-12.05Tortola//IMG_1040
and to Ganzee
../../../Sabbat/2005/01.05-12.05Tortola//IMG_1041
none of which produced the appropriate tokens of the trip. So, we
followed the rules
../../../Sabbat/2005/01.05-12.05Tortola//IMG_1042
while getting gas
../../../Sabbat/2005/01.05-12.05Tortola//IMG_1043
and then flew off. In the shuttle on the tarmack at San Juan airport
it took a few tries
../../../Sabbat/2005/01.05-12.05Tortola//IMG_1044
../../../Sabbat/2005/01.05-12.05Tortola//IMG_1045
before we got this picture of contented travelers
../../../Sabbat/2005/01.05-12.05Tortola//IMG_1046
coming back from a vacation though I'm not sure that either
picture of my meal
../../../Sabbat/2005/01.05-12.05Tortola//IMG_1047
../../../Sabbat/2005/01.05-12.05Tortola//IMG_1048
or my meal with Suzanne's
../../../Sabbat/2005/01.05-12.05Tortola//IMG_1049
could ever show the harshness of returning to the food you don't want to
eat and the weather you don't want to endure after a nice winter's trip
to a warm place with good beaches.
