can you imagine getting your car washed, inside and out, for only 5 dollars.

well that is the deal at the sandy bay car wash.

gotta love it.

  our friends are arriving back on the island today after being gone for 6 months so i brought their car here to get washed. 
the other day while driving it there was a crazy lizard sitting the steering wheel. 
i tried to catch it but couldn't!

  since then there has been a very strong smell in the vehicle.

so  i told the guys and they found it: dead and stinky.

   ugh!

   such is life in the tropics.

i took this picture because it is typical of island life:

wooden house, shuttered windows with no screens,

unpaved roads (the main road is paved!),

and a mother and child sitting happily on the back step hoping for a breeze.

life is pretty simple here.

i like that.
