Beautiful weather and a slow paced day sums up Day Two. We finally figured out the wireless at the villa. Via Facebook and Skype checked on Abaco, Bacardi, Lola Marie, Tobago, Carmen and Frick back at home. Michelle our parrot nanny reported everyone was behaving and happy. Did heavier provisioning today. All I can say is, don't leave home without your American Express card! Our first stop was Bobby's and the wine aisle. Checked out the American wine selection and settled for Chilean wines....a couple of chardonnays, sauvignon blancs, and cabernets (needed totally for pasta sauce, of course). Ran into a group boat provisioning and they were impressed that we did the adult beverages first, then the food supplies. Suggested the Chilean wines to them. After they visited the wine aisle they thanked us for our suggestions. Afterwards, we hit RiteWay. Must say RiteWay's meat selection was looking pretty nice and we found the ingredients to a couple of recipes there that we didn't find at Bobby's.
Back at the villa, lounged in the pool and eventually headed down to Brewer's Bay to enjoy the afternoon sun. Had fun watching the cows on the beach and a Texas family having a blast in the water. Gary gave them a marina biology 101 on how a snail exists. They had collected one in a bucket and were looking for answers. Gary, a former biology major, gave them one.
Thunder threatened (again), something we've seldom experienced on Tortola, and we headed up the hill to Casa Allamanda before any heavy rainfall began. Once there, a dip in the pool, followed by some reading relax time, and dinner prep--a Bolognese sauce.
Night has fallen and Gomez, the resident Casa Allamanda bat, is now skimming the pool for drinks (and possibly bugs). It's nice to have some things remain the same!
Up this week? Visiting Jost van Dyke on our own via an Island Time center console, possibly an Anegada adventure, and a return to Virgin Gorda. And of course, a Talkin' Tourism live remote on Friday.
Having a blast!
