It's Spring

In this part of the world anyway.

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!
