- Mix of rain and sun---no sunburn!
- Picked up an ICE-BVI device that gave Casa Allamanda Wi-Fi high above Brewer's Bay. Thank you Rusty for meeting us at your Wickams Cay II office on Whit Monday (a national holiday) to ensure we had Internet access. Having Internet access from the villa a time saver and fully satifies every need we need in a holiday destination.
- Disappointment of the day---check out girl at Riteway didn't know what the holiday was on Monday...she stated "I'm not from here." Gentleman behind us in the check out lane explained the holiday. Thank you.
- Exchanged car at Jerry's. No more scraping of vehicle's under-carriage when entering villa's driveway. Thank you Jerry!
- Good news: Lots of newly paved roads. Bad news: slippery roads. Learned must engage 4-wheel drive when it rains. Slipped backwards on the switchback just below Banakeet. Didn't freak but two cars behind us and two cars coming down the hill stopped and gave us space to recover. I think the strong rum drink I packed for the drive kept me from freaking out. Not sure how Gary remained so calm and collect.
- Heard Gomez, the skimming bat who drinks from the pool, visit but couldn't see him due to electricity going out. Thank you Freddy and Susan for putting two flashlights and candles in the kitchen to help when there is 'no current.' Cooked burgers by candlelight. By the time dinner was on the table, current was back on. Dinner very streamlined but perfect.
- Provisioned at both Riteway and Bobby's. In my humble opinion, Bobby's wins. Great cheese, meat, fresh produce, and wine selections.
- Taught Gary how to make a movie on Picassa and set up a Google blog. Used the laptop (on battery) to entertain us when power went out. Lots of fun.
P.S...tried to upload June 2 photos, but Blogger software being picky and didn't want to upload. Will try to upload in the a.m.
