Green Turtle Love

Jennifer (The Pearl)

We arrived in Green Turtle Cay on November 9 and have been in love ever since!  We have walked to the beach, the bay, the bank, to town and ended up in backyards (well sometimes it hard to tell if you are in a front or backyard).  Folks are super friendly and the weather has been incredible.  Last night Buccaneer cooked up some traditional red chile and made enchiladas- not much more a girl can ask for.  Having a grand time!

I've been told our readers want more photos- so I hope these are to your liking! 

New Plymouth, was settled by loyalists- yes, those who sided with the British during the Civil War!

Typical cottages on the bank side of Green Turtle, love the colors!

Buccaneer & I visited the Loyalist Sculpture Garden in the center of town.  The statues are beautiful (so is the sky)!

Name that yoga pose!  Buccaneer enjoys the ocean beach! (Check out those breakers)

Pearl practices her Down Dog!

Seaweed deposits from Sandy & waves braking on the coral reefs.

Brain Coral- super cool!

Small diversion to the Moon!

Extra Old Rum went from Barbados to Buffalo in 2006, Buffalo to ABQ 2007, and met its end in the Abacos, Bahamas 2012.

Angie, I am sending this home with Patti- it made me think of you!  

Typical grocery shelves.  Prices to note: Tortilla Chips: $6.75/bag, Salsa $5.95/jar.  

It's 5pm somewhere (or a little past noon)!  Buccaneer and our new friend, Kathy from Halifax!  Cold Kalik's in hand  (during the festival Christmas and New Year's festival of Junkanoo cowbells are a key instrument used by bands- "Kalik" is the sound they make).

The Pearl and Buccaneer with Kalik's.   

Sweet Treats!  Coach, um, Buccaneer has a serious sweet tooth (thank goodness).  These local pineapple pies are yummy!
