I was surprised by a visit from the Easter Bunny this morning. Melissa from Flip Flop brought over a set of more appropriate "church clothes" for me. It was a most appreciated and generous gesture. I joined her and Jeff for the ride over to the People's Church for the 10:45 service. It was interesting to note the differences versus what I'm used to -- the biggest one was the day being referred to as Resurrection Sunday and not Easter Sunday. A very familiar part was one hymn. The words varied a bit, but there were only five verses. (That's a screen shot from the online video. I did not take a photo inside.) After the service and a quick change of clothes, we all (including Scout) headed to the Sandbar on Russell Island for brunch. It was a beautiful day here in the Bahamas.
Along our travels, we spotted more fruit trees. My identification skills are still poor, but we think the one on the left is a lime. We returned to the Yacht Haven at a falling tide and had quite a step down to get onboard. The full moon is driving a larger than normal tidal swing of about three feet. We spent the final hours of our final afternoon by the pool. As the sun began to set, it was time to return our borrowed buggy. On the drive, we passed this beautiful brick paver sidewalk that we have admired many times this week.
We had another great visit with Ross and Euleta and looked at photos coming into my phone from our shared North Carolina family. It was good to see everyone properly dressed and posed around my head. I still missed being there, but am very glad we have a new family photo to update all our frames. As luck had it, we passed by Papa's Scoops on the way back to the marina just as they opened at 7:00. Tonight's flavor was strawberry. Having learned from Day 1's waffle cone drip mess, we each got a small cup and enjoyed it on our final walk through Spanish Wells.
We have had such a great stay here and look forward to returning. Thanks again to Demetria, Euleta, and Ross for all the hospitality, friendly faces, and sharing your island. We will leave in the morning for the Abacos and begin the final chapter in our Bahamian adventure.
