Next on their tour around the world, our little mail carriers stopped in the Bahamas! We’re extremely jealous, and living vicariously through them :) Enjoy the sunny report that islander61 sent us:

Ana and Paulo’s next visit was to Nassau, Bahamas, home to islander61 and dancingkittycupcake. Nearby Yamacraw Beach was their first stop to build sandcastles and relax on a towel on the soft, white sand (watch out for that crab!) The little boats were the perfect size for a ride; who got the red one?



Later, Ana spotted the lighthouse that has guided ships into Nassau’s blue water harbour since 1816. They climbed over a cannon and Paulo was amazed at the size of the visiting cruise ships. They explored the sculpture of Woodes Rodgers, Royal Governor who expelled pirates in 1718, found a red mail-box and tasted paella at a seafood festival. Montagu Beach was the place for a seaside treat of spicy conch fritters and cool, sweet Goombay Punch.

Another day, a drive across the Paradise Island Bridge for a wedding anniversary lunch at The Cove, Atlantis (they really liked the wine!) and a quick peek at the aquarium.


A ride home from school in dancingkittycupcake's uniform pocket and a chance to investigate the backyard seagrape, mango and coconut trees. Coconut water was so refreshing on a hot, hectic day that Paulo needed a nap!


Finally, we baked cookies for our guests. Look, the egg even had two yolks! A special egg for two special visitors, Ana and Paulo.


Thank you islander61, and dancingkittycupcake for hosting the little mail carriers! And now, on to new adventures! :)
