Paradise...Day two in St. Lucia

I have my land legs back and I'm much happier for it. I am not a sea lover AT ALL. Today was a great fun day. Had a so-so breakfast at the hotel, went shopping in a mall that actually puts prices on the goods and at a REAL grocery store, walked around the area and retired to the pool to relax. I don't have all the pictures uploaded, so please see Farley's post about the day for his beautiful pictures and much better description of the day.

I had a little discussion with the Caribbean cell phone company that wasn't so pretty today. We were never told that if we left the island of Dominica we would be charged crazy roaming fees, even if we are using their network on another island. I was charged $148.00ECD for a 16 minute conversation. Lets just say after 2 hours on the phone and the mid-level manager making a racial comment about me when she thought she had me on hold, then hanging up on Farley after he took the phone from me: I got my partial refund. It just seems wrong to charge roaming fees when someone isn't told those fee apply, you are still on the same network and the phone (unlike U.S. phones) doesn't tell you that you are roaming. I did email the Medical School to let them know about my educational conversation....the new incoming students should know to ask lots of questions.

After that, which I was able to laugh at much quicker than I anticipated. We enjoyed our books by the pool...we are saving the white sand beach for tomorrow when we change hotels to the Rex St. Lucian (the all inclusive place right on the Caribbean Sea). I should end this post soon as Farley and I just had dinner on our balcony and are heading down to the bar for our complimentary cocktails. The balcony here is nicer than our balconies in Dominica, but our views in Dominica are a million times better (the sea) and the view here in St. Lucia is of the courtyard.

Just for you Mom, a picture of my hair down after going swimming. I don't have any makeup or anything, but I know you wanted to see a picture with my hair down Mom.
