Bahama(zing)

In case you were wondering,

It's a there and back again kind of morning.

The view from our hotel room:

A quick walk to the pool:

The view of said pool:

SHUT UP!
(I know, right?)

The view of the beach.

Five days of sand and saltwater beats any NYC pedicure.

The view of the streets:

I was shocked to find the Bahamas prettier than I pictured it, and tickled to find that a majority of the buildings are pink.

View of historical natural, national beauty:

Gorge(ous):


The view from the jungle:

A panoramic view south:


A view of the most relaxed I get (hopefully also the reddest):

After a lot of thinking and planning I decided to leave my laptop stateside. This face is the face of a girl who has abandoned the internet for the first time since the 90s.

See? Happy face:

(Ignore creepy kinda-winky eye.)

View from the boat!

What? You've never seen a dolphin before?

So here's the stats:

• I swam with dolphins.
• Ate infinate carbs for breakfast, every morning.
• Spent less than five minutes on the internet.
• Didn't have access to a phone.
• Got burnt to a crisp
• Hid from the sun under a hat, a first for sure.
• Spent every day with some of the people I love best.
• Ran from smoke INDOORS (what?! people have their Cubans hanging out of their mouths everywhere!)
• Ate ice cream when I felt like it.
• Won $8 at the slots
• Sipped pretty drinks, shore side
• I woke up when I wanted
• I fell asleep when I wanted
• I took my time doing whatever I wanted
• Spent as much time in the water as the days of my youth.
• I had a week of bliss, despite the sunburn and the HEAT! Bahamas is hot, mon.
  

Now I'm home, and luckily for me, home is one of the places I love best.
Still, you have to admit, "It's better in the Bahamas" ;)
