We're in St. Lucia, on the Indian Ocean coast. Today, Brian and I took the 5 boys to the beach and it was absolutely beautiful! The boys loved feeling the sand beneath their feet and the pull of the current (which made me crazy thinking they'd be carried off to sea!).
We weren't exactly sure how long it would take to drive here from Jo'berg and we got different answers from everyone we asked. We heard 3 1/2 hours to 7 and it took us... 10. There was construction that closed one of the two lanes of traffic. We'd have to stop for the oncoming cars for sometimes a half an hour. It was miserable. Everyone was cranky in the car. Poor Andy.
We are staying at the most beautiful place. It's called the Avalone Guest House and it's prettier than the pictures make it look. We went exploring behind the property and I felt like I was at a theme park -- we saw banana trees, thorn trees and those African trees that you see when you think of, well, African trees.
We went for a boat tour this morning and saw hippos and crocodiles.
The rest of the group left for home last Wednesday (they should be back by now). Now it's just us.
And that's about all I have to say today.
(oh, and I'm on a shared computer so I still can't upload pictures.)
