Sooo look and see what I am going to do this weekend! I am SOOOO excited! Unfortunately, Ryan can't come because he is studying for his COMPS, but I have promised to take lots of pictures for him. He is very busy studying, and he is ALMOST DONE! I am going on a boat with some of my friends here on the island. I am super duper pumped! I just thought that I would share the promo video for it to give ya'll a taste of what it will be like! Stay tuned....
Here is an update from this past week and weekend:
Ryan, Tim, and Aaron
We went back to Karakter and had tapas on the beach. It was awesome, as always with delicious food and live jazz music right on the water. I love that place! I also love our waitress that we always get there. She looks like a real-live pirate! I will have to get her picture next time that I go!
Isn't the little fire that they give us for our table fun? See the yachts in the background on the ocean? They are everywhere for the Regatta.
Last Saturday, I went with Lara and Lyssa (two of my favorite spouses) to Philipsburg because they were on a mission to have their makeup done for their weddings- both being this spring/summer. Turns out that there is a legit MAC store here, and the best part is- THERE IS NO TAX! Yes. That's right. We had a blast and we even went to the only "wedding" store here on the island. It was quite a place but they ended up having some pretty veils which was what Lyssa was looking for. Check it out:
See the awesome mannequin in the background of the wedding store? It was pretty fancy.
After about 3 hours in the MAC store, we went to the Green House for some much needed nourishment and refreshment!
These two pictures are from Allie's baby shower a couple of weeks ago, but I couldn't remember if I ever posted them.
And here I am after waiting on Lyssa and Lara to get their makeovers. We really were there for a loooong time, but it was well worth it.
On a random note, I got my hair done by this Italian guy here on the island, Walter. He is very nice, but it took me by surprise the first time that I went to him. He gives neck, shoulder, and head massages while he does your hair. I don't mean just a little rubbing and patting- I mean he gets all in your personal space and rubs your neck until you are a puddle in your chair. Needless to say-it was awesome, and I am now used to having my personal boundaries violated. I guess it is a European thing, but I don't mind as long as my neck is being rubbed!
I casually asked him if he had heard of or seen any famous people here on the island lately for the Regatta, and he said that Donatella Versace was just here staying on the French side at La Samanna. Not bad, eh? He also said that a few months ago, there were a few NBA players with their girlfriends staying at Porto Cupecoy. I thought that was interesting. Who knows if any of it is true, but I thought that I might as well share.
Here is his very modern salon:
(Keep in mind, that I am sitting on a purple couch with diamond rhinestones in the upholstery, while I take this picture) That red chair is where I sit while he does my hair. Different, but it works.
Lastly- I will leave you with even more random pictures of our "Electrical Room" doors here at Aqua Marina- where we live. Every time that I go down to the bottom floor when I am bringing in groceries, I see this sign. Isn't it creepy? But then, the more that I look at it- I find it disturbingly funny. Maybe I have a sick sense of humor. Oh well.
Please note the picture of the man with a lighting bolt coming towards his neck! Is this supposed to stop children from entering the room? I am so confused, but I still think that its a funny picture.
So there it is and I will hopefully have lots of wonderful pictures to post after this exciting weekend. Ciao Baby!
