The West End and other adventures......


On Saturday we were invited to the West End to have lunch with Jerrisma. She is a great cook. We enjoyed cracked lobster, cracked conch, lobster rice, baracuda (from our catch!!!) with vegetables and a green salad. I have to tell you, the cracked conch was as tender at the cracked lobster. I was very impressed. I thought all conch was as tough as old tires but not so.

Following lunch, we headed out to Old Bahama Bay to show Todd the playground for the rich and famous like John Travolta and Oprah. I don't care who lives there, it is barren and needs trees. Most of the homes are on canals not the ocean. Not my idea of paradise. Deer Lake Road, that is paradise!!!
 
The fisherman above was to give Jerrisma two conchs for some conch salad but he got in late from the ocean. He showed Todd how to kill and gut the conch. They were huge. Very happy fishermen!!! Thanks to Jerrisma for a great afternoon.

Here we are at Paradise Beach, Deadman's Cove for Todd to go snorkeling. Note the camera strapped to his chest. When we got home we sat on the couch and saw everything he saw. That is my idea of snorkeling!!!

So great to have Judy back. We get up to lots of stuff together. Here we are at Toad in the Hole in the Williams Town Settlement right on the ocean enjoying a late afernoon libation. Todd liked going here too. Shelly the waitress really looks after us and calls us all "Baby". The conch fritters are yummy if you are needing a dose of grease. Lots of friendly locals hang out here. Us too!!!

Here is another view of our lanai. I have my second jigsaw puzzle started on the table and this is where we play cards every afternoon. It is a lot hotter this year at this time compared to last year but I guess we had better not complain!!!! Loving the Bahamas!!!!
