Day 5 Antigua

Antigua was one of our favorite islands. It seemed like the more north we got, the less poor the islands were and the better the living conditions seemed to be for the people. That was nice.

Here is Mike looking at Antigua from of the deck of our ship.

This lady danced while balancing a pineapple on her head.

We saw a cool looking church from our balcony so we decided to walk to it. It was called St. Johns Cathedral.

We saw several lizards roaming about the headstones within the gates.

Inside the church was beautiful stained glass depictions of Christ. I love old churches and this one had a really awesome rounded ceiling and hundreds of wooden pews.

Here is Mike coming out the back door.

To the side of the church was an all girls high school so I got a picture of a few of the girls in their uniforms.

Later that morning we took a taxi to Runaway Beach. It was the best beach so far!

The waves were much bigger here and Mike and I had a lot of fun swimming out and then bodysurfing to the shore.

Here were some people riding horses along the beach.

This picture makes me laugh whenever I see it. Nothing like an enema from the ocean to make you feel refreshed. :)

Mike just wading.

Gotta love the backwards "J," babe!

On our way back to the ship we saw this man playing a type of bongo drum. Everywhere you see people playing these or steel drums, which is where you get the beautiful Caribbean music. We were able to get Vessel a small steel drum from Antigua.
