Lots to Do!
This past week-end:
Friday night – Evita at CCT. Awesome performance!
Saturday afternoon – Krewe de Barkus Doggie Parade (We saw lots of our favorite dogs and their people, Biggie got his picture in the Avis!); Wreggie and Gigi (and 6 others) arrive (we meet them at the airport with wine and beer and water and fat Papi). Evening – we go to town to listen to Kurt Schindler (a NO-SHOW!), but hang out in our favorite places playing pool and drinking espresso martinis. Bring Wreg and Geej back to Hacienda and go down to walk in the bright moonlight on the beach at Divi.
Sunday AM – Luca’s organic farm is moving to Longford, so we spend 9-12 helping to dig a ditch for a water pipe. We come home in hopes of meeting friends for a trip to F’sted. There’s a ship in (!) and we’d like to check out new snorkeling spots, but our friends are also “no-shows” and we go out to enjoy the beautiful waterfront and beaches there anyway. We have dinner at Beachside Cafe, where Frank Pugliese, original owner of Restaurant Bacchus is now chef.
Our meal was delicious, the company of ourselves exceptional. We watched the light of the sun dim behind massive rain clouds on the western horizon, as the Maltese cruise ship departed for other ports.
After dinner we walked a bit on the lovely west-end beach before heading home….A nice lazy Sunday afternoon…..
Oh yes, life is good!

West End Sundays are great, our last one was at Sandy Point, then a walk along the beach by the F’sted fort. Home again, lots of mail, laundry, and sleep! I agree with you about the Beach Cafe, we had our last lunch there on Monday and the food was terrific. Sorry we did not get have dinner with you there. You just cannot beat the atmosphere, the sound of the waves, the pelicans flying low over the water, and the view of Frederiksted.
