12/31/05 Carrie’s here for Christmas

Carrie arrived last week on the 23rd from Baltimore for a 2 week visit. As it turns out, I don’t have to subject her to the conditions of living at the GSPCA; which really isn’t all that bad with the worst thing being the lack of hot water. Instead, a woman named Gene who lives up the hill in Springs has asked me to look after her place over the holiday. And since the house has several apartments she has allowed me to rent a place during Carrie’s visit. We certainly have a better view of the lagoon and the Carnage than at the GSPCA.

We were hoping to be able to go to the beach for Christmas more for bragging purposes than anything else but it rained on and off all day long! For dinner we went over to some friends’ house, Louw and Marta, along with some of their friends.

On one of the hashes that I went on back in August I was told that there was a nice beach halfway through the hike. Carrie and I took Boxing Day to hike to this remote beach to enjoy the day and didn't even get lost. It proved to be a ripe hunting ground for conch shells and fun place to fly my kite.













Doug and Melanie are set to arrive from NYC this evening.
