INDEPENDENCE DAY BAHAMAS

Forty Nine! This is what Bahamas is celebrating this weekend. There are proud flags everywhere and parties. We are staying the week at Donny's Marina but took our dinghy to Green Turtle Cay for a lunch out on their patio. The inside bar is full of signed dollar bills. No wallpaper needed. 

See the walls in the background, no room for us to put a bill up. Of course, we are Canadian and I would need to tape a loonie lol!

 

We took our dinghy around to an excellent mangrove area and saw turtles and large fish. We say we should go back with our fishing gear but it is 101F with the humidity ..... no, we don't want to venture far. We did stop at Big O's and had a great cocktail and saw all the signatures with the Sharpie all over their walls and beams. Such a friendly place.

Our dinghy is there as it is the only one. Many tourists arrive on rental boats or tour groups that they have joined. 

Above photo is a pair of my flip flops. I had to throw out. 

The hot sun shrank them. And look at the shape of them!

I have a back up pair which I am keeping INSIDE the boat.
