Graduation Celebration

Thank you! This is why we went to VA to celebrate David's graduation. Congratulations!

In front of Nassau airport, there was a three-hour wait to go to North Eleuthera, so we asked the taxi driver to take us to a restaurant. He took us to this one. We had curry rice. Dad had fish.

After riding the water taxi, we arrived at Harbor Island. We couldn't wait to go to the beach, so that is why nobody is wearing their swimsuit.

I thought, "Why do we keep walking by this tree?" Notice Sarah's parents are not in the picture. It was a long walk to go to the tree. The first time we passed by from the hotel to the beach, the tree was in the ocean. We took our chance to take a picture with the tree when the water was low. I later realized it was a famous tree when we went to the local art gallery and saw all kinds of photographs and pieces of this tree. Looking back, I am glad to have a picture with it.

At least twice day, we would go to the beach while everybody else rested in the hotel. We took the golf cart and went back to see the famous tree again. We had a lady take our picture. Notice the water is high and that the tree is far away. When I wore my swimsuit, I felt insecure. But when I saw this picture, I felt good because I look young.

Sarah said to bring a hammer and knife to take out the conch creature. The nearby stand made conch salad. We can't catch or buy it anywhere, but we got to eat conch salad for lunch.

In order to go to the Man Island, we rented snorkeling gear to practice. David taught me how to breathe and how to follow him. This is behind our hotel.

Before Man Island, we went to the grocery store. In front, there were these banana bunches. I didn't know bananas grew like that, so I wanted to lift it up, but I didn't know it was going to be that heavy. I barely lifted it! Look at my muscles!

This is behind the pool hotel. This pink flower is on every fence- the most popular in the whole town. There were also lots of chicken everywhere. They were popular like the flowers. When I think of Harbor Island, I think of pink flowers and chicken.

Sarah was our guide and took us everywhere on the map. In front of the library, there were two large rubber trees. The roots were outside and there were so many! It was so amazing to see it. Every plant there was so green, so shiny, and so healthy because of the hot sunshine and frequent rain. We saw a cotton tree too.
