Bequia

This is my second and last day in Bequia, the biggest of the Grenadine islands, and it's a spectacular one. 

We have walked all over Bequia, crossing the island until we found this beautiful oasis. Firefly, or Spring, Plantation is a hotel/bar/pool which is open to the public (tourists). I am exhausted but so excited and with 10 days left in my trip I couldn't be more ready to be home. 

Look out for an intense blog post coming your way soon about all of my adventures while aboard the Corwith Cramer. I for one have a hot Skype date with my amazing husband! Bye for now!

Short quip about the ship!

Not much time! Here are some pics and I'll see ya in 6 weeks!

The Interim: My stay at Emily Elizabeth's

This is Emily Elizabeth's house. Gorgeous, I know. And the inside is even better.

The T. V. room

Her moms office. 

Her living room with all of our stuff in it!

The beautiful room where I stayed (I suck at making beds!)

Another angle of the room. 

Me enjoying a hard cider in the T. V. room. Comfiest couches of my life!

Snuggled with Rosie. I am happy despite what this picture shows...

This is Emily Elizabeth's dog, Rosie, on their twice daily walk up and down the road.  

The woods around her house are just amazing; very Fall-esque, I love it. 

Adventures in shopping! Yesterday was so much fun!!

And this is the coffee she made for me this morning. Pumpkin spice coffee with foam and a little heart in the foam, can you see it?

Stay tuned because another very exciting and last minute post is on the way! 

Au revoir

To start, I apologize for not holding up my end of the bargain. I was supposed to apprise you all of my happenings while here at SEA and now I find myself boarding a ship in less than four days. A lot has happened in my six weeks here. I've made a lot of friends and had a lot of fun; oh and I've managed to learn a few things too. But as the shore component comes to an end I find myself getting sad, simply knowing that I will never again live with these 8 people in this capacity again. I really enjoyed living with this big group and getting to know everyone, maybe I learned a little too much, but that's a part of being roommates. 

As sad as I am to be leaving, my adventure is just beginning. I cannot wait for the sea component of this program and to start my research!! 

I promise to post some pictures of the ship when I see it on Saturday. Au revoir!

The Full Monty

This post may not seem relevant to the bulk of you who follow my blog, but upon hearing the suggestion followed by the AH-MAZING name that was coined by one Emily Bishop, I decided a post must be made! 

Below you will find many, and I mean many, photos of Monty the dog. Enjoy! 

**DISCLAIMER**

If you don't care about Monty the dog (and have no soul...) you should stop reading now. It's seriously all dog from here down. 

Jamie, logging those dog love hours. 

This is Freeland. Monty is his dog. Oh and the boat is actually Monty's, he's just letting us use it. 

She just loves that dog!

So majestic. 

He's barking orders at us!

That's a cover photo waiting to happen. 

Ohmygoodnesslookhowcuteheis!!

Check out that blue tongue!

It's blue because he licked the color off his nose. True story! (Not really though....)

D'aw...

Always the center of attention. Smh

Happy pup!

Hey look! It's me! I have so much dog love to give!

That looks comfy...knot. 

Checking the sail and whatnot. 

Loungin', you know, like a gangsta do. 

Uh oh, he's serious now guys. Where the heck did the put his bone?!?

He's got a fun side too! 

Whup, he's back in business. Gotta make sure we don't get boarded by pirates!

I can't get over that tongue, so cool!!

Smiling pup again! 

Hope's loving the dog too! He's so lovable!!

This guy knows how to take a photo!

He was sniffing for crab leftovers whilst waiting for the boat. Silly dog!

He sure loves his hugs! 

I would like to credit Hope Goodrich for taking all of these photos. Amazing job Hope!

So I'm in the works of writing a huge post about this past Saturday when we went sailing and swimming do don't give up on me yet! 

I'm also planning one about all my class/shipmates so you can get to know them too! 

Oh! And I'll be writing another about an in-depth look at my classes so y'all will know exactly what the heck I'm doing over here. Peace!
