Having just left Saskatchewan where it was -28C on Monday
morning for the +28C of the Bahamas late Monday afternoon it has been a
pleasant weather shock.
We had a quiet day on the beach.
I made some progress reading December Dread by Jess Lourey which is set in rural Minnesota in
the cold weather of Christmas time. There is a special pleasure for someone from
Saskatchewan in reading such a book on the beach.
I would read abit and then drift alittle and then people watch and
then sea watch and then read some more.
There was a trivia contest with only myself and another man
participating. I knew my odds were good when they pulled out the questions and
answers from the original Trivial Pursuit
game. I do well with the original. Not so well with the current versions.
Knowing the Parthenon is on the Acropolis won me a Bahamas ball cap!
We have just come in from having supper at the Tiki Shack
just down the beach from our resort. The cook was using half barrels for
barbecuing and boiling. We sat at picnic tables on the beach watching the sun
set and eating corn on the cob, rice and barbecued chicken and ribs. Two Bahama
Mama’s complemented the meal. The evening was topped off by a big beach
bonfire. All for $20.00 a person.
It has been a good day.
Further posts for the next couple of weeks may or may not be regular.
Bill - I'm so glad you're enjoying a well-earned rest, and congratulations on your trivia win! It sounds as though you're having a lovely time.
ReplyDeleteMargot: Thanks for the comment. We have had a pair of warm sunny days at the beach.
DeleteSounds like so much fun, and relaxing. And great that you could get away from the cold weather.
ReplyDeleteTracyK: Thanks for the comment. We have had a long cold winter in Saskatchewan. I think the last stat was 31 days with a low temperature of at least -30C.
DeleteBill, I hope you and your wife have a wonderful vacation. There is nothing like a lovely vacation to recharge one's batteries. Trivial Pursuit is a great game—congratulations on the win!
ReplyDeletePrashant: Thanks for the comment. I loved the original Trivial Pursuit. I expect each person loves games they can play well.
DeleteSounds like you're having a great vacation - a good time to go in search of the sun. We'll be expecting reviews of all the books you read....
ReplyDeleteMoira: Thanks for the comment. My first review from the beach will be up tomorrow evening.
DeleteEnjoy yourself, Bill! Send some of that sunshine up here so this blasted snow will finally melt for good.
ReplyDeleteJohn: No problem. Sunshine is on its way. Let me know when it gets there.
