We are still here!!!!

We are doing well and have adjusted to island life. Our blog is a bit of a representation of our adjustment, as everything moves slower down here. With the exception of school, and my classes. Speaking of school it is going very well and I am really enjoying my classes. Finals for this semester are rapidly approaching.

Willie has been staying busy, as you can see from the picture!

Nevis!

This past weekend we took our first trip over to our sister island, Nevis. It is a twenty minuet ferry ride, and we brought a car along. When we arrived on Nevis we put two gallons of gas in the car, and that was enough to get us around the island 2.5 times!!! Mostly on a quest to find a little piece of American History, and a good lunch...both of which were accomplished. As you can see we visited the birthplace of Alexander Hamilton.

Here I am on the ferry, just leaving St. Kitts, that is Nevis behind me. Then in the next picture we are on Nevis looking back at St. Kitts.

It was a fun day of exploring! ~Erin

After a full day of household chores, and being a beach bum....it is time for some night fishing! We went to the golf ponds, caught some bait fish and we were set. The fun thing about down here is you do not know what your gonna get. My first cast of the night, before the bait even hit the bottom, I caught a nice Jack. Then fifteen minuets later, I caught an even nicer Jack. Later on I had a huge Tarpon grab my bait, and fly out of the water...but unfortunately he spit it out......Lots of fun....Willie

Fall in St Kitts

Fall is in the air, here in the tropics...It has been raining most of the day, and the high temperature was 77 degrees today...nice and cool, we are enjoying it.

These pictures were taken from our front deck looking down on the Caribbean ocean.

First Dive

I got to go diving for the first time since we have been down here. The water was perfect, warm and clear. Spent the whole time chasing lobsters. Between everyone diving we caught twenty-five keepers. Then we went to a friends house for dinner who showed me how to cook them up, and they were delicious! Willie

School

If anyone had any doubts about the real reason we are here I thought I would add this picture. This is me at school...As you can see between the buildings is the ocean. Not a bad place to go to school...There are no windows in the classrooms, so we do not get distracted. School is going good, my professors are amazing at what they do...It is very rigorous and not easy...but I am already learning alot!!! I better get back to it....Erin

First Fish

Got to go spear fishing today...finally!!!! We snorkeled out around a reef, where we saw an array of beautiful ocean creatures. I shot my first blue runner...This morning's fun, is tonight's dinner!
