Where's the Beach?

Saba IS a Caribbean island

But its NOT exactly known for it's beaches.

In fact, it only has one wondering beach.

Wondering meaning 

it is sometimes here and most of the time not...

(Although if you remember Nathan and I were lucky to enjoy it for one day in December.)

Beach-less............. that is............ until now!

They have finally made a beach at "The Cove"

White sand (imported from St. Martin) and everything!!! 

I say finally because local people tell me this has been 

"in the works" for a while.

It is almost contagious how excited the community is 

about this new development:) 

After Nathan's exam today 

we celebrated with many of his classmates:
lunch out at Saba Snack and 

our first official Saba Beach day!

In a short time, it has become quite the popular watering hole!

And yes. That dog is collecting rocks. Too cute.

Take One: Nathan "smoking" a seashell

Take Two: Nathan being Normal-ish

Great day!

It really felt good to feel the sand between my toes on Saba!

Hodge-podge

This post is a "hodge-podge" of various experiences

 throughout the last week or so:

We have been duly welcomed to  hurricane season...

The Road has been turned into a river!

See the depth of the water! 

We've hiked around the Bottom...

Paris Hill is the hike

It is a very shot hike, but I hadn't done it yet

So it was good to check it off my 'To Do' list.

There is no Eiffel Tower

But

there were lots and lots 

of very camera shy hermit crabs

 And 

Plenty of Aloe Vera

We also got to enjoy a gorgeous sunset...

Which is actually a rare occurrence.

Where we live,

Mount. Scenery completely blocks the sunset 

so we rarely have the opportunity to enjoy it!

Sunset from The Bottom.

Oh Canada...

Happy Canada Day!
