Steve and the Soccer Field

So I can't help but post this picture cause at least once a week he gets all dressed up and goes to school. Dang he looks good. And those are the days I give him a ride on the scooter and I always have kinda rolled out of bed barely presentable and drop him off. I look SO so good next to him like that! 

Yeah for staying in shape. In Dominica it was volleyball here he joined a league with a lot of locals and about 2 other students. They have fun. Its a lot of people who are slightly passed their prime and quite a few who are in their prime. Either way there is sure a lot of yelling at each other involved. As far as I can tell this scottish preacher is the backbone of the whole game. I think hearing so many accents made the whole game all the more enjoyable to watch. Steve did pretty well as far as I could tell. He was sure around the ball a lot. And he definitely got a workout out of running after the ball for 2 hours! Its good  to have entertaining diversions.

Taino Resort

The International Bazaar

This is the International Bazaar. The 1st time I went there with Steve and it was almost completely deserted except or a gazebo  where these men hang out all day. I was kinda creeped out cause no one was anywhere and there was music playing os it had a deserted carnival in a scary movie feel. I came back with a couple of friends who wanted to take pictures there and it wasn't too bad. There still weren't many people around but we were bus taking pictures so its not as noticable. I guess a lot of the businesses closed when the hurricanes in 2004 and 2005 wiped out the Hotel there. It seems as though that happened in a lot of places all over the island. Anyway its a cool are and it was fun to explore!

The European Area is the prettiest!

Sorry A added a random sunset picture but its pretty enough

This tree reminded me of a bonsai tree, just a bit larger!

A Lighthouse Minus The Light. Guess Thats a House?

I just wanted to share some random pictures from a sunday walk and a beach party after the 1st Mini (test).

Before And After Shots

Before

After

So after a 6 month growth spurt of hair We decided that the hair was maybe one night going to turn on Steve. It was super long and I hate finding so much long hair all over the place. So Steve got his first Bahamian Hair cut and I think its kinda amazing. Not so curly but then again he won't look like a mad scientist everyday, especially after sky diving. Of course he looks greatest when he's clean shaven... hint hint wink wink, but I think everyone else will agree that he looks like a mix of all the hottest actors but with one major improvement on them. He's kinda crazy smart! Did I mention that he's a straight A student in medical school! I'm kinda amazed, not to say that Its surprising, but I didn't know people out there that were semi normal were that smart. anyway. Here he is the new Cary Grant!

Taino Beach

This beach is a major tourist attraction. There is music blasting from the bar and people walking around trying to get people to parasail or jet ski or kayak. They even have a ferry that brings people from Port Lucaya. We had so much fun playing in the sand and Geno and me decided to float out to the rope that divides the swimming area from whatever else. These girls are so fun to hang out with. They are the only members that came from Dominica in 3rd semester. They also have the cutest daughters and really add everything together and you have nothing less than a rave.

The water is striped in different shades of blue everywhere. Its so beautiful. Where its darker is where the seaweed grows on the ocean floor.

Scoot scooter

I know what your thinking. Where's the motorcycle, but really this is so much cheaper and still gets ya there faster than walking. We bought a scooter because everything is so far away from everything. Its fun but people always think we're tourists because we're white and all the tourists rent scooters. Add the I heart NY T-shirt and there's no explaining you live here. Anyway it makes a loud buzzing sound everywhere we go and totally ruins the element of surprise, which is fine since I gave up the whole spy job. I know it just makes Steve want a motorcycle that much more, but what can we do. We got this lovely basket on the back of it, but unfortunately the metal attached to it is only barely holding on to the scooter so its a bit ify putting stuff in it when I shop. We deemed it not secure enough to hold Steves books and computer.
