I started the post above on Tuesday morning and had every intention of finishing it but ended up AWOL instead. With Dick leaving yesterday morning on an indefinite return date, and thanks to Zac loaning us his cart the past few days were all about driving around the island, listening to music.

Zac came for the final ride to drop Dick at the airport. After checking his bags and doing a one last errand, Zac drove along the beach road  and back down by the lagoon for some scenic views. It was one of those times where the clock was moving fast and slow. It felt like we were driving around for ever, at the same time I knew how fast the time was about to catch up with us – especially with his plane leaving 20 min early.

While at Tropic Air seeing Dick off, we caught up with Dianne saying her goodbye’s to Tracy [another good quality guy leaving the island  ] We also ran into Paula and Jesse Fay, also making an indefinite San Pedro departure.

As we stood in the waiting area chatting and saying our good byes to the boys I thought about how life moves people on and off the island. While I was  sad to watch them go, seeing Tracy made me smile and reminded me of the boomerang effect – the good ones often come back.

I will leave you with a randomly ordered  selection of pictures I shot over the last few days – not even going to attempt a tech battle  with my photo gallery today to try and get them in the correct order. That is one of the cons of the Olympus Stylus tough-8010, I have not managed to figure out a way to rename how the picture files show up in my wordpress gallery.  I have also recently noticed that the delete button has slowed down a lot, my guess is that this is because it is somehow being affected by salt air or weather. Even though they say it is waterproof up to 33 ft, I am reluctant to test that theory and will likely be considering a soft underwater camera case. A pro for the Stylus tough-8010 I love the how the picture color registers on sunny days.

We have been so busy today starting out with the school and taking pictures of everything the girls brought. While there Direct Abundance decided to sponsor a child for High school and they came up with a very exciting plan. Many kids in Canada are required to do 40 h of community service work to graduate high school so the girls will approach schools to have the kids sell chocolate bars to help send a Holy Cross student to High school on a scholarship.

All the kids had to write out why they felt deserving of a scholarship and what area they wanted to study. There were 4 kids left to choose from all had great letters but they chose Damaris who is 14 years old and wants to be a music producer. In her own words… I chose this career because I really love music. Music is my passion I could hear music every day and I don’t get bored. I really have to follow my dreams and not give up.

Very flitting they chose her as we have been driving around San Pedro listening to my shuffle speaker combo and the girls have been signing along to their favorite songs.

You Can check out all the donation pictures from today on the School Blog.

I really need a swim break – the big party at Pedro’s is coming so fast.

Blog Fiesta kick off party for San Pedro Lobsterfest 2009 was a big success – we packed the house and everyone had a great time. I scored some great shorts and a top at the stuff swap and the all you can eat lobster pizza was even better than it was on wed night.

Had to make a stop at the rum Cigar store

Coconut bruit is a must have item for those who like coconut and sweets would be a great topping for ice cream baking or cereal.
