In the valley below Fort Charlotte there is a traditional cricket field. Last night, the full moon illuminated the cricket field and lured Rache and I to the Cricket Club. I felt like we learned about one of the best kept secrets in Nassau. Walk past the gentlemen playing dominoes and go up the creaky staircase to the open air patio upstairs. It was almost magical. The food was rich and succulent but the best part was the live blues being sung by a gravelly voice.
Today we took the ferry back to New Providence where Rache got a chance to explore the straw market. It went a little like this....
Rache: How much for this little wallet?
Straw Market Lady: $12 dollars
Rache: Sold!
Ricki: WHAT?!?! She doesn't mean that. She means "What's your best price?"
Straw Market Lady: I like her better. (points at Rache)
Ricki: Well I have the money so how about $10.
Straw Market Lady: ok ok
Ricki thinks to herself: Dang it! She gave in too easy... it's probably worth $8
The rest of our day was spent browsing through Bay Street and lazying around the water park at Atlantis. Although this is a very small blog, we'll leave you with a picture of a very BIG chair!
We're off to dinner at Lucianos tonight and heading home tomorrow.
Til my next adventure...
Love,
Ricki & Rache
For ten months a year, I work with some of the most clever students in the world. During the summer, I travel because it makes me a better teacher and a better person. I've had the privilege of traveling to England, France, Italy, Ireland, Scotland, China, Greece, Mexico, Canada, Jamaica, the Cayman Islands, the Bahamas, Costa Rica, Colombia, and all over the United States.
It's summer time and that means it is time to travel! I am headed off to Italy and Spain in the summer of 2011. Stay tuned for updates on my adventures. ... full info
