I'm going for a walk with my friend S, to get some much needed exercise.
L unfortunately didn't move to the next round in her university scholarship application, but is still eligible for a smaller scholarship. She's fine with that, knowing that this sort of thing is very competitive. She did get accepted into a prestigious program at another university. She actually applied to eleven schools and is waiting on a few more responses.
Here are some more photos from Barbados. We discovered they had afternoon tea with the most delicious little finger sandwiches and pastries, what a treat that was.
Here are a few shots taken in Bridgetown, the capital city:
They have a nice airport (pictured below) with duty free shops. In fact, I looked into the 'Diamonds International' store out of curiosity. They weren't busy in there and this particular white-gold necklace took my breath away. The salesman encouraged me to try it on and told me a bit about the high quality .83 carat diamond pendant with many facets. The duty free price was US$6,800, compared to a $9,000 street price. I would've taken a photo of it, but it's not allowed for security reasons. No, I didn't buy it!

you must have love the weather, right Christine? I heard you say "afternoon tea" and so just had to pop over and see what it was all about! :)
Sorry to hear about her not getting the full scholarship! Wow you are so organized! I still have not even found the cord to get the pics off the camera. I only have a few pics because they were on the iPhone. I need to go get my sh*t together. :o)
Good luck to L on making her final decision!
That tea looks wonderful! I'm glad you all enjoyed it for us :-)
Your trip looks like so much fun. I agree with Mmmm, that afternoon tea sounds so nice. Maybe you can get the diamond on the next trip. : )
