St Kitts

 Today we are in St. Kitts - again, no excursions booked so we supported the local economy and went shopping in town! I found a local craftsperson who made jewellery out of sea glass so indulged myself with earrings and a necklace!

After mooching around town (although we didn't venture far from the port as it seemed a bit sketchy), we hung out at the pool, swimming and drinking too many margaritas(!) for a few hours… we are back in our cabin for a few hours of napping and relaxation this afternoon :-) Oh, life is rough! I'm finding this trip to be especially restorative - I guess we both needed the break away from reality…

Last night before dinner we stopped for a drink before supper as is our habit. I was getting Carm to take a photo of me all dressed in my sausage dress, when a lady zoomed over to us and practically grabbed my phone from my hands (in the best way!) so she could take photos of the two of us together :-) She was lovely and we exchanged email addresses. I posted the photo last night.

We had a nice steak dinner at the ‘specialty steak house’... I gorged myself on scallops, black & blue onion soup (our favourite!), and I had a GIANT rib steak, I think it was 14oz! No wonder my belly is getting bigger! Soon Iˋll have to forego the skimpy black bikini that I've been wearing at the pool, although I feel tiny compared to some of the people also in bikinis around the pool 😱

The people sitting next to us, (Fran & JP), in the restaurant were from California and were lovely. I'm not sure how it came up, but I mentioned the benefits of cannabis - but I was talking to the already converted… she used it for pain and sleep as well! Conversation flowed and we covered many topics and found much common ground.

After dinner we got seats at the theatre for the ‘Elvis’ show - I'll admit that I'm not a super Elvis fan but the performer was fun, with so much energy. He came across as a warm person… this morning we met him in the piazza and chatted for a few minutes - he was even more lovely in person 😉 

When the show was over, we headed for the piazza where the band was playing. The singer has a voice like Nat King Cole… we got up to dance many times and had a great time. It's crazy but we are more in love than ever! Perhaps a cancer scare has a silver lining 😉 . And who doesn't feel madly in love when dancing to love songs! So far, it's been like a non-stop date night 😀 

Awesome!
