The Friends

We miss you Corinne, Gerald, Alexandre et petit Clement d'amour.

Rodney and his boys were on a trek for seashells and cool plants for their new gardens. They stopped by first to have a chat and I stole a few moments with my trusty Canon.

This is the 4 to 6pm beach club. From left to right: Alexandre, Clement, Gerald, Benjamin, Rob, Sophie, Gabriel, Rodney, Megan, Lochlan, Mitchell, Angie, Kyndell and Bobby. We threw a rooftop potluck the last week before our departure at Angie's and Megan's place. We thought it turned out very well and we should have done it more often... Once was a good start!

Our little snorkeling club. They were truly fun to watch. So comfortable and natural.

There they are, Benjamin and Gabriel's friends were a fun bunch and saved my boys and I from certain beach boredom! Canadians, French, Australians and Americans in a happy, sandy heap

The places

This is the reflection of the ocean as seen threw our open kitchen window. Coupled with the purple building going up next door. The experiment turned out better than I'd hoped...

Another perfect beach day. That's the advantage of photography next to water. It's always a little different. This one I liked because of the lines of sun flickering of the pale sand. Stepping into that warm water is as nice as you can imagine.

Another twisted attempt at the ever popular tropical palm tree.

One of our favorite place was the airport hotel pool. It was outdoor, right off the ocean and had great food. It was Corinne and my favorite hang out. It did take one cab, two boat rides and a ten minutes walk to get there but oddly enough, it was worth it!!! The boys were swimming without floaters by the end and Gabriel could hold his breath almost as long as I can!
