Welcome Home, Earl


I was greeted back to the island with a warm welcome from Hurricane Earl. We managed to steer clear of any serious danger, but the eerie feeling from the Sunday night "sunset" wasn't exactly comforting. Here are a few pics of what I saw a few hours after I arrived back on Nevis for semester number 4.

Grillin' and chillin'


As my third semester of medical school is coming to a close, the stress level around the island is at an all time high. This has proven to be my toughest semester yet, and I can only assume the trend will continue next semester. With all the studying and test-taking going on, we’re always looking for a way to squeeze in a little R and R. We finished our “shelf” exams (the most important exams of the semester) last week, and celebrated with a little relaxation time around the pool, and some good food on the grill.

Full House


A few weeks back, the Sweet Sunset home welcomed a few old friends back to the island. Bobby’s wife Whitney and youngest son Hunter made the move once again from the states to Nevis. In addition to Whitney and Hunter, the house had another visitor – not quite as welcomed. A few mornings back, Whitney kicked a “ball of dust” from the living room into the kitchen so she could sweep it up. After the kick, that “ball of dust” scampered away. Spider? Beetle? SCORPION! There was a couple-inch-long Caribbean scorpion crawling around the house. It soon met its fate (an Adidas flip-flop), and we kept it around long enough to snap a few pics

Island Life


With more rain than sunshine on Nevis these days, it’s important to take advantage of a dry day when it comes your way. That’s exactly what we did a few weeks back, with a little beach volleyball, a beach BBQ, and an evening beach party at a bar called Island Life. Cold Carib on tap, fresh lobsters on the fire, and good company – this is the island life.
