Day 639 is our last full day in St Lucia. I was awake at 7 but managed to relax until after 8 to get out of bed. Stouts were just leaving for a jog. Sheldon and I walked to Rituals, our favorite coffee place grabbing a cafe au lait and spicy chai for our beach walk. It was so lovely as the beach was again not busy yet. I found more beach glass for my ever growing collection. It was so sunny and warm it even required me to get in the ocean to cool off.
We came back to the condo around 10. Sheldon went for a swim at the pool while I updated the blog and checked in on Dad who is doing amazingly well Mom says. A quick bowl of cereal for Sheldon and a glass of orange juice for each in the sun was breakfast. Sheldon laid out in the sun while I updated my blog in the shade. It was another humid hot morning after another night of rain. It has rained every night here in Rodney bay but never at Soufrieire. It does make for a cleaner town with the nightly rain.
Sharon and Darren were back and we all relaxed watching TV laughing as Darren researched Dengue fever. By now it was lunchtime so we trudged to our local IGA grabbing mini pita bread and cheese as well as a bottle of rum and went back to make grilled tuna melts. There was an issue with the stove not working but Kristine our housekeeper let us in to another unit to broil them. They were very good especially served with our favorite dorito chips. That and Sheldon's bananarama cocktail!
Once we finished and cleaned up we readied to head to the beach only to find the rain coming in from all directions. We reversed our plan back to the condo to play smear until the rain passed. Once the sun was back out we loaded up and headed to the beach. I stayed with the bags as photographer and baggage mover while the other 3 snorkeled a bit then we all bobbed in the ocean enjoying the intermittent sunshine.
On the way back to the condo we checked menus as to where to have supper. We took a tour down a road that had a few restaurants called The Red Snapper, The Hairy Clam, The Back door and La Terrasse! HAHAHAHA WTH It was decided we would try the Lime which was middle of the road pricing and seemed local. Back at the condo it was shower and cocktail time as well as a quick blog addition for me. After a couple quick photos and a few more cocktails it was time to head out to supper. We all enjoyed The Lime, all of us had the fresh catch of the day.. mahimahi and it was all delicious.
After our last night of fine dining under the stars with birds tweeting and warm air blowing we ventured back to the condo to play out the smear game. The boys took the first game and the girls the 2nd coming down to the rubber match. This caused allot of googling to try and find why it is called that to real no avail. Think this was our latest night up, played cards till 11! However I read and finished my book till 12:30.
