actual whale bones make up the bar counter and stools
I took this on my trip to the Bequia. It has a long tradition of whaling and you can see some evidence of this in the Whale Boner Bar, Restaurant and Boutique located along the waterfront. You enter under an archway of whale bones, sit on whale vertebrae and can marvel at the whale rib which runs the length of the bar. I thought this photo was apt for this week’s challenge!

my longest and most satisfying love affair committment to date
Jaywalking at its worst
Jay walking n. walking across a street outside of marked cross-walks and not at a corner, and/or against a signal light. If there is vehicle traffic or clear markings of a place to cross, this is a traffic misdemeanor subject to fine, and may be (but not conclusively) contributory negligence in the event of injury to the jay walker by a vehicle.
This happens everyday.
This irks me every single morning on my way to work. Pedestrians ignore the traffic lights and risk life and limb to dodge traffic as they illegally cross the road.
A herd of Jay Walkers
I took these photos with my phone on my way to work this morning. I apologize for the poor quality of photos, but I wanted to show the very real side of everyday life in the “tropics”. This blatant disregard for basic traffic laws, is an everyday occurrence. You can clearly see that the light for pedestrian crossing never turned green, but these people crossed anyway. Then we wonder crime is so high in our country? If we cannot get the little things right don’t be surprised when we can get a whole Section 34 wrong!
Near and Far
I loved how the ocean looked here. The pier and the boat partly hidden and of course the horizon in the distance. Scenes from the movie Pirates of the Caribbean Dead Man’s Chest were filmed here.
