Time and Tide

Hello again from Barbados! It's hard to believe that we are way past the half way mark of our stay in this beautiful island. We have been reflecting on how quickly time passes. Then we thought about the tide....as the saying goes, "time and tide wait for no man". No matter what we do, we cannot stop the passing of time. Enjoy each day at it comes.

We are having a wonderful time and not doing much. Russell has been walking the beach more than I have. Good for him. Going back to the gym will be a tad challenging for me but I will cross that bridge when I get to it. For now, I'm enjoying the rest.

The weather has been perfect, sunny and quite hot but always breezy. With the full moon tonight, the high tide will be higher than normal so a "no swimming" sign was posted on the beach this afternoon. It will be interesting to see if anyone tries to swim in the ocean anyway.

It is low season now in Barbados so it is much quieter compared to when we normally go in February. We don't mind that. What we did notice though is that at this time of year, the sun sets further West so we are not being treated to the beautiful sunsets that we normally would see earlier in the year. We are actually thinking of going to the West coast in a couple of days to perhaps capture a true sunset. We'll see.

I finished volume one of the Natchez Burning trilogy and started volume two. Just as spellbinding as the first one. I don't remember the last time that I read such good books. As for Russell, during one of his walks on the beach, he spotted someone reading a book that caught his attention.....needless to say, he had to buy it. He finds it quite captivating....of course, he would!  I include a photo of the book in case anyone is interested.

So, our time in Barbados is coming to an end soon. We fly back to Toronto on Friday. Saturday, we will be attending Shannon's wedding in Cambridge. Until then, we will make the most of each day here. Have a great week!

Palms. The sunset is obscured by buildings now due to
the Spring equinox.

Our space for the day. Each morning I prep the loungers
for Russell and myself....plenty of space and chairs to
choose from.

What better way to spend time, feet up on the pink wall of the
Southern Palms eating lunch, having a wine and reading a book...
this is a candid shot, we do not know who took it,
only that it appeared in the Southern Palms FaceBook feed. 

An interesting read, thought provoking!
