Twenty Years!

Twenty years ago today we were rushing around at home preparing for 50+ people to arrive at our house for our wedding. Today we're in Antigua at a pool deciding on which drinks to start the day with. Actually, we started early with mimosas for breakfast. Well, not only mimosas. We had food too at the Italian place. They serve a great breakfast buffet with the custom omelette station as well. It was a pretty good start to the day.

It was quite windy this morning but we decided on a beach walk while the weather was good. Some unsettled conditions were forecast for later. It's amazing every day to see all the shades of blue in the sea. We were even treated to a full rainbow way out over the waves. 

    The rainbow is a bit faint, but it's out there!

    This mansion is for sale at only $6 million US. 

    Looking back towards the resort. That's a shipwreck in the foreground.

    Marilyn did a bit of perusing in one of the beachfront shops. 

   

   We saw more interesting flowers today as well. No idea what they are!

   And this is my favourite shot so far. It's a crested hummingbird feeding. 

After walking, we staked out seats at the smaller swim up bar pool nearest to our room. We sat under the shade a palm tree for a while and considered what would be an acceptable time to get a drink. I went over and got a couple of things and then almost slipped in a puddle that was not visible to the human eye due to the marble tiles. Luckily, I made a pretty good save and didn't spill anything or injure myself. 

    This is the inside of our small swim up bar. They definitely have a lot of choice!

        The really colourful one is a Reggae Top. I'm staying away from the frozen ones!

    This is one of our favourite things. Every afternoon, someone shows up and replenishes the drinks in your room! 

Our anniversary dinner was at the fashionably late hour (for us!) of 8:45 at Eleanor's. This is one of two places you need reservations for and it's not very large. We had a great meal including ceviche, crab cakes, grilled lobster and lamb shank with Caribbean flavours. They knew it was our anniversary so a dessert came out even though we had declined at first!

On the way back we stopped in at the piano bar for a few songs as well. It was a great ending to a special day!
