Half-Way Home

We’ve been on Guadeloupe for a little over a month.
For the first two weeks, we struggled with a plethora (real word) of set-backs vis-a-vis housing.But have really enjoyed the island itself. Warm waters. Soft sands. Lush vegetation.It really is quite a prosperous island. Certainly anything ‘government-related’ (museums, gardens, aquarium) has been uber well done!We are living in Deshaies.Interestingly enough, where they shot (or continue to shoot-I’m rather fuzzy on the whole ‘next season’ info) Death in Paradise. One of Husby’s and my favourite programs.It’s fun. There are pictures all over the town of the actors...acting.We’ve seen the building that ‘houses’ the Honore Police.Eaten at the restaurant that doubles as ‘Chez Catharine’.They even do Death in Paradise tours.Which we haven’t taken...So here’s where I show you what we HAVE done! Little critter we found at the Botanical Gardens.
And no, he wasn’t friendly...
Also at the Botanical Gardens.

If you look closely, the Star Clipper is on the horizon.
We’ve sailed on it several times!

It’s sunny and warm. The island breezes are blowing.
I see snorkelling in our future!
Wish you were here!
