St. John Vacation - Day 5

Woke up at 6:30.  

Worked for 2 hours (yep, gotta do that).  

Climbed back into bed next to sleeping Daddy (D) and went back to sleep for 2 hours.  (Hmmmm... nice!).  

We got up, had breakfast, packed lunch & grabbed a sandwich at Starfish then headed out in search of Jumbie beach.

Apparently, Jumbie means "Ghost".

We stayed for a while in this little Robinson Crusoe beach 

until the dark, foreboding clouds converged overhead and large water bullets pelted us from the sky.  

We saw it coming and were already high-tailing it up the small trail and wooden steps to the jeep.

We drove the winding roads in the downpour and got back to our lovely abode where we caught some darling Bananquits happily drinking the sugar water we had left out for them (finally!!!).

While waiting to see if it will clear up & we can head back out to the sandy shores, I now type and Daddy prepares lunch.

If it doesn't, perhaps we will watch a movie?

Later gators.

Day 4 Begins

Woke up to pouring rain and 45+ mosquito bites.

(Yes! I used repellant. Gallons! Even on my SHEETS, if you can believe it. 

D has NO BITES whatsoever.)

The rain stopped within minutes and now we have blue skies.

The itching still continues, however.

I WAS able to post some photos on facebook... if you have an account (or know someone who does), you can check them out.

We plan to go out Lameshur Bay & Salt Pond roads today...  a little explorin'.

We'll let you know how it goes.
