I’ve finally spent some quality time with Photoshop and flickr and if you click on the screenshot above, it’ll take you to a sixty-picture set that documents our three days in paradise. I’d like to say that going to the Bahamas – and specifically Eleuthera – was the best thing we did all December. It’ll have to come in as a close second*. But now in the cold of winter, on the last day of 2005, even knowing that we’ll have to work twice as hard to save for our next vacation, looking at these pictures reminded me it was worth it.
We ate delicious food, spent hours upon hours snorkeling happily in the calm waters, walked out onto the patio at seven AM to greet the birds and the sun and the morning, played cards and drank wine and rum and watched the stars at night, drove on whatever side of the road we felt like because there were so few cars, looked fruitlessly (get it?) for Eleuthera’s famed pineapples. I can honestly say that was the only disappointment on the island. Other than that, it was picture perfect.
And even though our last day and night was tinged with falls off horses, allergic bug bites, a disappointing Hilton (!!) and a very bad night’s sleep, if that’s the price we had to pay for those three glorious days on Eleuthera, we bore it as best we could.
I already want to go back and snorkel some more next year. Enjoy the pictures.
* The other great thing I did this month involved paperwork and crossed fingers.
