Acting Like a Tourist

This last few weeks are turning out to be a blur of beaches, pools, snorkeling, and soaking up both the sun and common St. Kitts activities that won't be available to us for a very long time.  Although I typically tend to act like a tourist on a regular basis, constantly taking advantage of the amazing activities and desperate housewives that are always available, it is even more evident now that we are leaving in under a month.  Unfortunately, Andee is in the midst of block exams and upcoming finals, so for the most part, I will be enjoying these activities without him.  At least all us housewives are in the same boat!

In the last few weeks I have engaged in a ton of snorkeling at Shipwreck Beach!  There are hundreds of different kinds of fish, tons of sand dollars (or mermaid money) for collecting, and lots of big starfish in the deeper water!  With the growing number of friends with waterproof cameras, we were still able to capture some of our underwater adventures in photos, even though our waterproof camera is currently broken!  The pictures are amazing, but they still do not quite do justice to the amazing and colorful treasures and aquatic wildlife that we have seen!  Oh St. Kitts, your beauty is simply amazing!!

In addition to spending mostly every hour of sunlight outside by the water, I have also been enjoying hangouts with some desperate housewives in the evenings!  Partially to get out of the apartment so Andee can study, and partially because I'm trying to do everything St. Kitts has to offer before leaving!  Girls nights are always a lot of fun!

This week was also the annual Caribbean Christian Fellowship American Thanksgiving!  There was an amazing turnout this year of over 100 hungry guests, and tables full of amazing Thanksgiving food!  Andee and I ended up eating so much dinner that we had trouble fitting in dessert!  It was a fantastic way to celebrate with the church and with friends before exams!

Andee has his third round of Block exams this Monday, so prayer and encouragement is appreciated!  He is currently hard at work studying away, and will be until the end of the semester!  Only 2 weeks separates these exams from finals, so Andee will definitely be in need of a Christmas Vacation!!

Countdown:  18 days until we are Canada bound!  Andee and I plan to spend one last day at the beach together after his finals before we leave the Island!  First stop - McDonalds.  Second stop - anywhere playing Christmas music!
