Friday in the Bahamas


We spent the morning on the beach reading, drinking our pina colada, swimming, playing, laughing. Then we went to Paradise Island in the afternoon. We took a water ferry that was really fun. We walked around the island and went in and out of all the little boutiques. We got ice cream. Then we went to the Atlantis which is gorgeous!!! Huge and very beautiful. We played some slot machines and walked all around. Then we went to lunch at a really cool deli. I had a cold roast beef sandwich and Bree had a cheese toastie.

That evening we had a cocktail in the hotel bar and then off to dinner at The Poop Deck. I had seen The Poop Deck on our way to the hotel and told Bree I'd like to eat there. We had a long, lovely dinner. I again had the grouper fingers and "peas and rice" ... we don't know why they call it peas and rice...its red beans and rice!!! Bree had salmon again, I think! And of course, we got more conch fritters. These were even better than the night before!!!

Our taxi driver who took us to the restaurant was so sweet. He gave us his card and told him to call us when we got done eating and he would pick us up. We didn't need to do that because the door man at the restaurant got a cab for us. We just loved the Bahamians...so nice and "whatever, Mon!"
This is me on Paradise Island!!!!!!
