We Have Monkeys!

This morning after breakfast, Barrett, Grandpa Bill, and me headed to the "gazebo" area to enjoy the view. Turns out we saw more than a beautiful vista of the ocean.... We saw the monkeys! Click here for a short clip!

Yep. B eyed them first. Though we only got one on video, it was very cool to see three monkeys!

Today was decidedly a work day.... No more lounging at the beach.... Sand, mortar, blocks, scaffolding. There was heavy lifting done today.

Barrett was a workhorse all morning, doing mostly "go for" work, striking joints, running drinks to people, and finding every excuse to climb the scaffolding. Don't worry, mom... I kept good watch over him!

We were a rugged looking (and smelling) bunch by the end of the day so getting showered felt like a huge reward. My socks were so caked with dried mortar and cement that I just threw them directly into the garbage. I should do so with my shirt as well but I really like it! We'll see.

For dinner we went to the Round House Inn. It's a relatively pricey place located on a stunning portion of the Atlantic side. We had 8 guys in the back of the Land Rover (see picture on right), which made for a bumpy ride there and back.

The beach by the restaurant had these funky looking, monstrous hunks of coral. Here's me trying to push one over:


Menu tonight: grilled flying fish and a grilled chicken salad. We all shared a coconut pie dessert that is absolutely nothing like coconut creme pie in the States.

The heavens provided a great light show on the way home, with more stars than I think I've ever seen displaying the majesty of God.

After a game of pool, a blog update, and Yahoo Messenger w/ Voice call to mommy, Z, and Christa, Barrett and I are ready to hit the hay. We're exhausted from a day of work but thankful for the opportunity to be here.
