Dollar Cab



The "Dollar Cab"... Actually costs $2, but that's what it's called.  Think the local bus service.

Circles the island, hop on hop off.  Open air safari cab, 16 seats.  Just wave your hand and they stop, push a button and they stop to let you off.

No set schedule, they just have dozens of these.  Wait a few minutes and one will come by.


Not always the most scenic views, but gets you around the island cheap.

Rising Stars


Rising Stars is the local Concert Band for the high schools.

But no flute or tuba, everyone plays steel drums.  And maintains an honor role GPA.


Provide a great background sound for island living.

Sigh... 3rd time. Your tax dollars at work


This project started before we arrived on the island (almost 4 months ago).

Put a sidewalk in front of the high school... maybe 200 yards.

This section was finished a month ago.  Thought they were making progress, till I walked by and saw the orange lines...


And the almost always present traffic delay...


And sure enough, next morning...

Wouldn't be as funny, except this is the third time they have paved this section, smoothed it, made it look finished, and then tore it up again.

And here is the sad thing...


Here's hoping your stimulus money is being better spent.

The Minimal Regatta


Lots of fun at the Yacht Club (our neighbors), as they put on the Minimal Regatta...


T-shirts with logos and everything...


Young future engineers get a sheet of plywood, couple 2X4's and some duct tape to create their own design for a boat...


They had a BBQ on the beach, cold beer was $2 and fun... Another pretty good day!

A Pretty Good Place to Read a Book


But, I have to sit with my back to the ocean in order to get a good tan...


Sacrifices must be made.

We walked by a Wedding at the Ritz



Jackie said you could actually wear one of these bridesmaid's dresses again.

100 days but we got our walking papers

Yesterday was our 100th day on the island.

This week, we found out there is a time limit on paradise... August 13th is Jackie's last day of work here, she will be back at work in Kansas on August 16th.  August 15th, I will grill something.

100 days, 100 photos and stories... click the green letters to see the whole stories, most days have several photos...

Here's our trip so far... well, the photo highlights anyway
