Back from Barbados

These pictures are all out of order, but I was too lazy to delete and start over! Julie has been taking pictures like crazy since she got here, so I haven't actually taken a lot. She is going to email her pictures to me when she gets home and I will post more pictures then. Julie gave you a brief update of her first night and day here so I will pick up with Sunday. We went to church and then to Subway and then we decided to go to the pool. It started raining not long after we got there, but we decided it would probably blow over pretty quick so we didn't bother to take cover. The rain got harder and harder and finally, about 25 minutes after sitting in the pouring rain, we decided it might not blow over and that we should probably take cover. We were really determined to wait for the sunshine! Anyway, once the rain finally passed we swam for a while and then went home to start dinner and bake bread. Monday Julie helped Andrea and me work at our bread table. She wore a Daily Bread Tshirt and everything! After "work" Theo picked us up and took us to the airport and we were on our way to Barbados! The short flight (50 minutes) took us to one of the most beautiful places I've ever seen! Now, I don't know if it's because I was craving "real" food more than the normal tourist, but I thought that all of our meal experiences were fabulous! I really want to go to Barbados again with Ryan (someday). It is definitely a place to share with people you love!
This is a shot of one of our favorite dinner spots. We sat right on the water and watched as sea turtles swam up.
This is obviously out of order... We got back today (Thursday) and went to Ryan's football game. They won! :)



This is a picture I took at the "Make Your Own Pizza and Game Night" on Julie's first night here.
Sometimes we show up places dressed alike...never on purpose. (You can't tell as much in the picture, but her shirt has a lot of grey in it too.)
The view from our hotel room in Barbados. If only we had white sand beaches in Dominica...
Where we had breakfast!


Julie & Ralna at dinner. This is right after Julie arrived in Dominica. Theo is giving her the tour as we drive to my apartment. In this video Julie is excited because she recognizes a scene from Pirates of the Caribbean 2.
