A Wonderful Day

Two blog entries is one day! As soon as Heather and Burton returned from writing their last exam, we got into our beach wear and headed out. All six of us squeezed into the rental car - Burton, his sister, Vem (one of Heather's classmates), Dr. G. (one of their professors), Heather, and I. After trying to avoid the goats and the millions of potholes on the roads, we arrived at Devil's Bridge. I'll let the photos tell you the rest.

Here's Heather walking across Devil's Bridge, a rock bridge.

Then we went to Long Bay, also known as Pineapple Beach. Here are Burton and Jill enjoying the sun. The dark patches in the ocean are the coral reefs where we went snorkeling. What a neat experience to glide through the water and see all kinds of fish swimming around you! The coral was not as colourful as I had expected but it's shape and texture was fascinating and varied. So much fun to explore! We hung out here for several hours.

Before heading home, we stopped at St. James, a nearby beach resort where Jill and I had been yesterday. We joined in on a volleyball game that some Antiguans and Americans were playing and then jumped into the ocean for another swim, just as the sun was setting. Then we came home and made pizza. Here we are on the back deck ready to consume our dinner. It was about 8 o'clock but already pitch black. We had some good conversations about God's guidance and hearing Him speak to us.

Goodnight ta ya'll! (That's how Jill and Burton talk - they're from Tennessee and it's starting to rub off on me!)
