Yesterday we went to the Fish Friday in Gouyave.

We had not gone there in a couple of months, so were expecting that it had changed somewhat. Thankfully, it was just as good.

The food was still great, with a wide variety to choose from. The people are all quite friendly and pleasant to deal with and there is a well organised police presence, although they only have to help organise the parking and traffic.

We got there a little early, so it was not crowded and we had our choice of whatever we wanted.

We did not expect to see a lot of tourists there, but were a little surprised when the crowd started arriving and the majority of them were visitors. (If you like lobster or crabback, then I would suggest you get there early, as they tend to sell out quite quickly.)

WOW! Wish you could have seen the rainy weather we have been having recently.

O.k, we didn't take video (forgot), but did manage to take a few photos.

Could have sworn that we had at least 3 waterfalls on our property over the weekend, a smaller version of the Marquis falls and at least 2 that could rival Concord....(o.k, maybe Annandale).

It has been absolutely POURING with rain! The funny thing is that you could wake up the next day and everything is almost back to normal already.....thankfully, the island is a bit hilly, so everything drains off pretty quickly.

Even though we live on a hillside, i can see the benefit of having flood insurance, especially if we get a severe rainstorm.

The weather this year is quite unusual.

By this, i mean that the dry season has started pretty late and we are still getting the occasional shower or two.

You would not think so to look at the outskirts of the island, because everything is brown and dry and looks as though it has been that way for a couple of months. In fact, it has only been this dry for about 1 month.

It is Easter and one of the things we normally expect are the easter breezes. For this Good Friday, it has been very still.

We thought we would do something a little different this time.
My cousin, who has helped us out innumerable times over the years, has his family home for rent. This is one home which has an absolutely spectacular view.
It is up for rent, both long and short term.
The house is located on the hill by us, which is on the outskirts of the town, and has a view which is to die for.
