Flustery Blustery and Still Beautiful

Its amazing how much you marvel at the weather when you don't get a change in it for a year. For the last couple of days the winds have been flitting about and the sky has been gray. Do we mind !? Nay we say !!

We've been taking it pretty easy what with the weather not being terribly conducive to swimming. Instead we're watching the trees blow around, and trying to avoid doing the Electric Slide every time we touch our shorted-out stove. We have plans for later in the week, so we're keeping our fingers crossed for better weather.

We'll have to just go sit on the beach and wait for the turtles to come to us.

Never give me a panorama option and expect me not to use it ! 
 

Blisters and sand flea bites. Some may call them annoying .. i call em battle wounds !

I saved a crab today, what did you do with your day?

I got put in charge of the post for today, which is never a good idear...so har she goes.....Today we took the long walk to George Town. It was a pretty active day compared to yesterday where we made it only as far as the nearest beer joint. There we met a friendly dude and his son also escaping the bitter cold of the Rocky Mountains via Wyoming. Standing upon the beach a lovely little turtle popped his head up from the oh so light surf and caught Logan's oh so acutely trained eyes! While speaking to a woman we obtained insider info of a sting ray perusing the beach, which it just so happened we caught a glimpse and still photo of ! 
We saw some amazing local crafts on our adventures today, and BooBoo got some pretty impressive flippum blisters. It is defiantly interesting walking along roads when everyone is traveling at all, and i mean all speeds, and at time only having inches to spare. Booboo in her facination picked up our little hitch hiker and gave hime a ride to the beach, we called him "crabby " ; D even though he was a sweet little fellow. All in all a fantastic day !  To my loving Bertnee and Dane i hope you had a beautiful birthday ! Much love to all ! The pictures that follow are in some what chronological order :)


 A Breakfast for us !!!!

Can you tell I'm freezing !!!!! NOT
 I spy whit my little eye.....

Booboo's rescuee!

We Made It!

In an effort to compromise and keep our friends and families informed of our adventures, while still avoiding facebook! : D we created this blog. We got a new camera just before leaving so that we can take underwater photos, so expect lots of pictures!



We finally arrived at our cabin on the Exumas yesterday about 10am, a mere 18 hours late. It was a bit of a struggle to get here, involving more than a few misadventures. But between delayed flights and missing connections, we managed to have quite a bit of fun sitting in the Orlando airport. Be warned, the Orlando airport is freezing!


Our cabin and the people here have made it more than worth it. It's about 75 degrees and partly cloudy with a cool sea breeze. The cabin is just perfect for us, with a small kitchen and plenty of outside sitting space. The landlady is very knowledgeable and incredibly sweet. She's been here for 50 years, came from Britain, and never left. Can't say I blame her!


There's a cute little market just down the road, and an amazing fish fry next to the beach. The water is clear blue, and the beaches are soft white sand. We have yet to go snorkeling, still recovering from the 2 days of travel, but we'll keep you updated on the fish we see.





Much love to all!

Hope you are all staying warm. Merry Christmas!
