On our second day in paradise, we went for breakfast at the Top of the Baths, where we had dinner the night before.
It’s an easy walk up the road from our little Guavaberry hut. The plantings around the place are phenomenal, witness this incredibly happy white Bougainvillea.
Chickens set up the ca
lls at dawn, sounding oddly like the coyotes from home. These will wander around under the tables until this one local guy gives them a look. The chickens know him and scurry out immediately.
All was peaceful and lovely until the cruise ship tour people made it up the hill and demanded rum punch. They were not peaceful and lovely.
We sat on our deck in the shade through the hot part of the day, catching the breezes and catching up on a bit of writing. Then we spent the afternoon and sunset on the beach. The water is clear and gentle. Fish everywhere. I saw a school of nearly 200 blue fish (I don’t know what they are) from dollar-coin size up to bigge
r than my head.
Tonight is a big party at Leverick Bay. We’re promised dancing and stilt-walking and barbeque.
bwwahaha! I love it. It's the title of a short story, "The Chicken and the Hairy Eye-Ball."
I'm looking forward to reading that story, KAK!
