Wear more sunscreen

It is HOT down here

Summer in the Caribbean is hot, hot, hot

In between studying for exams 

I have taken advantage of the sunny days 

to relax with friends at the cove and by the pool.

Anne's Goodbye Party...Picnic and swimming ='s perfection

Although it is June 

my friends and family in Canada

remind me that summer has yet to find them...

Keep faith, you guys!

On another note...

Iguana's 

one of my favorite island creatures

LOVE the sun.

(Probably even more than I do!)

Hot, sunny days you can find them sunning themselves

 in trees and along the road.

Not too long ago 

my brother asked me advice on skin/sun care

(I must be an expert after a year (ish) in the Caribbean)..haha)

Chris this is for you:

Iguana's don't wear sunscreen.

If you don't want to look like an iguana

Wear more sunscreen!

Hockey Night in the Caribbean

You can take the Canadian's out of Canada

but that doesn't change much

Except

 Where you watch the game!

During the last three playoff games

Nathan and I have joined our 

Canadian friends and Hockey fans

to watch the game.

with a projector

on the side of an apartment building

under palm trees and the stars

In my opinion it was all very cute:)

~*Savvy Saban Segments: three: Cisterns*~

Wow!
Time is flying.
I can't believe almost a month has gone by...oops
It is two months to the day until I say:
"So long, see you later," to the Caribbean.

So,
 I better share some more unique things
about my little island in the sun
Before time runs out!

Of all things Saba life has taught me

Water conservation 

is the most obvious.

There are no lakes, ponds, rivers, or steams.

The only source of fresh water
for drinking, laundry, dishes, showering, etc...
 is Rain.

The whole island functions and depends on rain water.

Each house has a cistern.

Rain Falls
Catches on the Saba Red Roofs
collects and washes down the gutter...
through a pipe

Pipe from our roof to our cistern...

and
into the cistern
for household use

That's our Cistern!

Even public buildings
demand water consciousness

These signs are EVERYwhere... it take some getting used to;)

Even though I think cisterns are a great idea
and I feel very
'Eco-Friendly'
A LOoong, hot, shower is High on my list
of must do things
as soon as I get home!
