There’s a cute little restaurant on the beach near our place that has live Jazz musicians performing every Sunday. So we went by and thoroughly enjoyed a due of a great keyboardist and sax player, along with some great food and drinks. Here’s a short clip. A little Jazz on the Beach

Our trip to Barbados
We went to Barbados for a visit. To go there we took a ferry from Guadeloupe to St Lucia, stayed in St. Lucia for a couple of days and then flew to Barbados from there. All in all we were on the ferry for about 7 hours. The ferry has a downstairs enclosed area that is air conditioned and has movies playing. The upstairs has an open air seating area and an area out back where you can stand out on the deck. We stopped very briefly in Dominica and in Martinique – both very beautiful islands. And there was a spectacular rainbow at one point which I was able to catch part of on camera. By the time we arrived at St. Lucia it was getting dark. Here are a few photos of the trip there.

First Trip to Nearby Island -Petit Terre, Guadeloupe
Well, we took a trip on a large catamaran to a small uninhabited island called Petit Terre. There are 2 parts to the island. One half is a bird and wildlife sanctuary. The other half has beautiful beaches with white sand and very clear water. The trip out to the island was a bit over an hour. On the trip out it was a bit overcast and it rained briefly. But by the time we got to the island it had cleared up and was beautiful. The island is inhabited with iguana.
In fact we had lunch with on small, very cute iguana who munched on some bananas while we ate a nice meal of grilled fish and salad. They are vegetarians and are not dangerous at all. Afterwards we went snorkeling – my first time and Wayne hasn’t snorkeled since he was 10 years old! It was incredible!! There were all kinds of fish – angel-fish that were about a foot high, green fish, blue fish, transparent fish, striped fish. And we saw a baby sand shark! The water was crystal clear and warm. We were out there for hours. We finally got tuckered out and came back just in time to get ready to go back. The trip back was so soothing and calm that both Wayne and I passed out for a bit. We had a great time.
We visited a beautiful resort outside of Saint Anne
