Some Last Things About The Bahamas . . .


. . . and then it will be over, I promise.
But there are a couple more things that struck me about our resort.

SEAGULLS.

They were everywhere.



On the beach.




In the pool (seriously).

These pictures were taken on one of the nicer days.



Did you notice that umbrella with the scarves hanging from it in the last picture?

I guess they figure they have a captive audience. And they do a pretty good business there.
That picture as taken during a rogue calm moment. Usually, the scarves looked like this:




BEACH VOLLEYBALL

What can I say - the scenery was, uh, terrific ;-)

Where's the sunrise shot? Or at least a sunset! Work that camera early and late. Have a happy, long weekend. We're off to a Williamsburg water park/kiddie paradise with the grandkids.
