Wicked Fast January 31, 2008
Posted by Emily in : Family, Islands , trackbackI turned the big 3-0 on Tuesday. We were awakened by a beautiful sunrise boasting an exceptionally clear day. We could actually see the island of Montserrat, an island four down from Saba. In the two years we have enjoyed our beautiful island/ocean view, we have never been able to see Montserrat with our naked eye. Too bad our camera was out of batteries. We didn’t exactly capture what we saw, but I’ll post the picture we took anyway.
The weather was beautiful, 80 degrees with a light breeze (which is the weather everyday). However, by Tuesday evening, the temperature dropped to an icy 73 degrees and we were COLD! I called the restaurant where we had dinner plans, and asked them to change our order to take out. Most restaurants are open to the elements and we were not about to sit out in the FREEZING COLD CARIBBEAN WEATHER. We enjoyed our BBQ Chicken and Ribs from the warmth of our kitchen.
My gift this year did not disappoint. My computer is now the proud owner of four gigs of RAM. It is WICKED fast. It works as fast as I think, which is faster than I talk, so you get the point. I look forward to having fast internet in the states. Saba’s internet is dial up, which is enough to make anyone crazy.

I’m officially envious of your speedy computer and your impending return to civilization. To be fair, the internet here is technically DSL, but I was having cable internet withdrawal symptoms after our visit to the US.
