Smells like Caribbean Spirit


If I could post scents, I would.

So you could know what it's like to walk down the road and smell the honeysuckle sweetness of Frangipani. Or the earthy smells of ferns. Or the smoky mesquite of the mangrove woods.



I'd also give you the taste of aquamarine salt water and white shell sand. Cold beer on a hot afternoon.



I spent a lot of time in the sun water yesterday. Here's me, emerging like something less than Aphrodite from the waves, snorkel mask tangled in my hair.



















In the evening we went to Leverick Bay and at the spicy jerk barbecue on the beach. We drank Red Stripe and Presidente, ate too much and danced to reggae. Turns out pretty much any song can be set to a reggae beat.

Then the Jumbies danced for us. The picture isn't good, but it gives you the feel.
