The sunsets here are mesmerizing.

Here in Cane Garden Bay, an orange sky seems to be a complementary background for the setting sun.  Oh, forgot about my list so here is number 6.

 A Day At The Beach 
I had a day off and spent the afternoon with Denia. We had lunch at Myetts in Cane Garden Bay and then a walk on the beach at Long Bay and then pina coladas at Bananakeet. I help her with English and she helps me with Spanish.

Nature Boy was not to be found so she filled in for him.
