Antigua

We had a very pleasant day in Antigua, doing a shore excursion in the morning and taking a swim and getting some sun in the afternoon.

Here are two pictures of Antigua. As you can see we had a beautiful sunny day.  Yes it does look very dry.  As our guide explained, Christopher Columbus sailed past the island and saw all the dry vegetation and named it "not water" or which when translated from Spanish comes out anti-gua.  We saw quite a bit of cactus as we drove around.  The place actually has lots of water but it is underground.

The second picture is of English Bay which is famous for Sailing Week. This is where one of the top 5 regattas in the world is held each March.  If you click on the picture to enlarge it you can clearly see all the very expensive yachts in the harbor. 

After a nice lunch I participated in a golf putting contest and won a prize. Later I used my experience from playing corn-hole at Katie's to win a prize in a bean bag toss. 

No production show this evening, but we did see the lighted fountain show they put on each evening on the top deck.  Here are a couple of picture of this show. I also recorded a video, but it would take up too much internet time to upload now. I will post it as a new blog entry after we get back home.
