Pictures, Turkey, & Ag Fair

Here are some pictures from my tour with Dave last week!

This is me shortly after we arrived at Cas Cay, sporting my brand new Ecotours hat. The blue thing behind me is the kayak we took. This is just about 20-30 feet from where I later got bit by a crab.


Here I am by the blow-hole on the other end of Cas Cay. No, it's not splashing me, that's just a splash from the waves from the Caribbean Sea behind me. The wind was strong enough to push my hat off though.



Snorkeling. I can't remember why i was holding up all my fingers, but maybe it was to show that we were using Vivid Mode (see, lots of Vs...), as opposed to holding up letter 'A's for Auto Mode, demonstrated here by my lovely tour guide:

As you can see, it's plenty of fun! Well, we saw Harry Potter on Friday. I thought it was the best movie of the series so far. The effects are great and it's action packed. Yesterday we had an early Thanksgiving since we'll be on St Martin on Thursday. Dave cooked his first turkey and made stuffing and pumpkin pie, and I made the scalloped corn, mashed potatoes and also the sweet potatos with marshmallows on top. All in all, it was a good Thanksgiving. The food was great and we ate far too much of it. It was about 85 degrees outside. No, we didn't eat outside, it was too hot!

Today is the Agricultural Fair on at UVI: "Keep Agriculture Alive in 2005 is the event's theme, and all manner of growing and grown things will be available – flowering and non-flowering plants, eggplants, chickens, fresh eggs, collard greens, all kinds of bush tea, jams, jellies, chutneys and local drinks. There will be booths selling everything from vegetarian dishes to local favorites, pony cart rides and a petting zoo for the children; locally made goods are featured." We're told it's a must-go event! So we'll be heading there later today.
