Yesterday morning we were greeted by one of our lovely neighbors on New Morning, who stopped by with piping hot fresh chocolate croissants because she heard us remark the night before how we were craving them. Wow - they were delicious! (Thank you, Fay!)
I spent the morning finishing a fantastic book (Cutting for Stone) and weeping in the cockpit, while Ed caught up on some email. We had a light lunch on board and then got our blood pumping with what I thought would be an "easy" walk - but we did a bunch of hill climbing up and down - around Pain de Sucre (Sugarloaf), with some great views of the anchorage, and then down to a pretty hotel area called Hotel Bois Joli, and back. Along the way, we met a ton of goats, many with new babies ("kids") - all very friendly and curious. We saw some ducks, and some very cool Iguanas lurking around!
Returned from the walk a couple of hours later, and took naps/relaxed and had an easy dinner of some leftovers on board - kind of a Creole dinner - beans/rice with Butternut Squash soup that I doctored up with red pepper, curry and cumin. Breezy night and actually, it got kind of "cool" - - I had to go down below to "warm up" - - can you believe it - it was 80 degrees outside and I was a bit chilled??! Guess we're adapting to the weather!
Here are some photos from our walk and the critters we met....if you look closely, you'll see our red boat in one of the photos!
