Barbara and I, and friends from Swarthmore, are at PV for a short visit. The house was in wonderful condition when we arrived, though there are always little things to attend to. (How did island folks shop for odd things before the Internet?) We like coming in the summer. The water is warmer. There are fewer folks around. And some of the lovliest bushes and trees (like the flambouyant) don't flower in the winter.

We had gusty winds out of the southeast for our first few days and intermittent showers as a tropical wave passed to the south. Now the winds have calmed and the sky is clearer.

So far we've been to Francis, Cinnamon, and Haulover Bays. Today is the Leinster Bay beach, which is an easy, 20 minute walk from the Annaberg sugar plantation site.

We depart on Sunday. (Sigh)
