Week One


Merry Christmas everyone. We are just passing our first week in paradise and things are wonderful if you don't count the little wreck I had on Tuesday. I was driving along minding my own business when a pot hole jumped in front of me and swallowed the left front tire and ground effects, (can't imagine why we had a low rider to begin with) the result was a wrecker.

Soufreire is just like a small town back home and after coming here half a dozen times I have Add Imagegotten to know some people. Tony from Cool Breeze towed the car into their lot and within 24 hours Ursula from Budget had another car delivered to our guest house. This one is a Mitsubishi and sits a lot higher. Thanks Tony and Ursula.

Leo and Marcy arrived last Monday and spent two days with Marcy's family then two days with us and we are going up north for brunch with her clan today. Should be swell, lots of good food and cheer.

We have been in the mother once, found a terrific new waterfall in Anse LaRaye, (one that Marcy had never even seen), had a great soak in the mineral baths at Diamond Botanical, visited The Still, Jalousie and Hummingbird Resorts, not bad for one week. Some sad news to report, my friend and talented woodcarver Robert aka Fargo passed away from pneumonia about 5 months ago, RIP Fargo.
