Homeward bound soon

Happy Sunday to all! It is 9:35 am here in Barbados. I thought I would write today's blog by the pool, sipping a lovely...cold glass of water with a slice of lime. This is our last full day, we fly back to Toronto tomorrow evening.  It's been a wonderful vacation, probably the best so far here in Barbados.  I think as we get older, we tend to appreciate our time away even more.

We haven't done much since we've been here. I read two great books (both from David Baldacci, my favorite author).  We walked the beach every day, ate some great meals, watched amazing sunsets and just enjoyed life.  On Monday, we met up with Susan, Russell's old high school class mate. It was nice to see her again.  Yesterday, we went to the Atlantic Coast. We hadn't been in years.  We visited Hunte's Garden (thanks Patricia for the reco) and the Orchid World.  Hunte's Garden was created in Barbado's rain forest, around a sink hole. An amazing place. Russell was in his element, taking pictures of some truly spectacular flowers. I will post some in next week's blog. This tour was followed by a lovely lunch at the Round House in Bathsheba.  It was a great day.

Cooper is also having a great vacation.  Between playing in the snow, romancing Ella, getting groomed every day and trying to convince Nathan to share his lunch with him, he's been pretty happy. It's been wonderful to follow his antics every day and we cannot wait to see him Tuesday morning. Thank you to our dear friends Darlah & Nathan for taking such good care of the Coop.

So, this is the last blog from Barbados, for this year anyway.  Life will return to normal in a few days and that's quite alright.  It's always good to get away but it's also good to get back home. Spring should be just around the corner. I wish you all a great week.  Off to enjoying our last day to the fullest!



Like snowflakes...no two Barbados sunsets
are the same....they are always spectacular!

Pink and fuchsia bougainvillea in a sea of white. 

Early morning, beach view from our balcony at Southern Palms,
Dover Beach.

Come on, Cooper says to Nathan...just a nibble
please.

I'm hungry...is that steak?!

Bathsheba and the Atlantic Ocean with the huge
boulders in the sea.

Anne on the beach....does not get any better.
