FOOD!

I will never , ever appreciate food more than I did on March, 10 2014.  We had just pulled into Nassau and we had just been in the Exuma Land and Sea Park for two weeks.  There are no towns, no fishing and NO FOOD!  It was crazy!  Mom eventually threw the last bit of cabbage out because we had been conserving it for too long.  Dad and mom finally decided that the weather was calm enough for us to make the crossing to Nassau.  Wren and I let out let a squeal of delight.  Not because we were going to Nassa, but because that's where the food was.

When we got to Nassau, we were greeted with dirty water, gigantic power yachts,  rock music blasting our ears off, and stinky city air.  The only good things about Nassau are FOOD, fireworks (on Sunday night from one of the resorts), and infinite water and power (If you were hooked up to a dock, which we were).

Laundry day

The first thing we did when we got a dock space, or "slip", was GET FOOD!  As we walked into the air conditioned grocery store, we all gasped.  Asparagus greeted us on the nearby shelf.  Apples and oranges said hello.  We were in heaven.  Lettuce, tomatoes, carrots, apples, oranges, bananas, mangos, avocados, pineapples, pears, plums peaches, meats, gourmet cheeses, crackers, bread, milk, juice, ANYTHING you could have asked for was there.  We stood there drooling.

We bought as much as we could possible carry.  When we were walking back with the groceries, I couldn't wait, so I got a pear and bit into it.  Nothing ever tasted that good. 

That night we had steak on the grill.  Yum x infinity! 

I'll never forget how lucky we are.

Love,
