Amazing Atlantic

Amazing Atlantic Today we went to a beach area that Amy had not been to before.  It was in Canada Estate which is along the Atlantic Ocean shoreline.  A very old foundation was sitting right in the ocean being constantly bombarded by the violent ocean waves.  Our 1828 map of St. Kitts indicates that this specific area was the site of a former slave encampment.  We found our way to the top of small mountain northeast of the town of Basseterre.  An impressive view of the town.  Even more impressive was how the cruise ship which was moored at the port dwarfed the town.

November

On Thursday, we went to the grocery store(s) for our weekly needs.  Of course, one cannot go to a single store as some of them carry some products but not all. So multiple stops for groceries. I bought a dozen eggs at Best Buy (here it is not an electronics store and the guys at work became engrossed when I directed them to Bestbuy.com) .  When I got home I indeed was surprised.  However, this picture rather typifies St. Kitts, in that it exceeds expectations, but in unexpected ways. White & Brown Eggs, Large and small sizes. Surely a selection meant to accommodate everyone's needs. Recent Activities It has been a while since I posted something from St. Kitts.  The main reason is that my camera was damaged.  Now I have a replacement and take it everywhere I go.  Mainly this means that I take a lot of boring photos.  Example:  This morning's sky: A view to the west.  The Sun was not quite up yet. There is a cruise ship headed into port this morning
