Singing the Internet Blues

We have been in our apartment here for 50 days and finally we have internet.  This was due to a series of mishaps as well as the philosophy that most things are done on “island time” here!  Suffices to say, we are finally connected!!

Our first months here were all about exploring and getting our bearings.  We have already found “our beach” and have favorite hangouts, bars and restaurants.  There are still a lot of things we are looking forward to doing, but have not gotten around to for one reason or another.  I will be writing about these in future posts, but really wanted to share some photos from our adventure so-far. 

I also want to thank our families, friends and colleagues that have supported this life-changing move.  It has not been easy and without your support, it would have been that much harder!

“Toll” booth and Beef Island Bridge, (a long way from the Golden Gate and Bay Bridges and their toll plazas!):


Traffic Jam.  There was an accident about ½ mile in front of this shot.  One small accident will jam up traffic in and out of Road Town.  However, as far as traffic jams are concerned…….
