John and Pat Visit! Day 3

After such an eventful Day 2, we enjoyed more of a lazy morning on day 3. We headed to the beach just below campus and had it all to ourselves. Pat and I snorkeled and traded off with Shane.
Then we went up to lunch to hang out with Josh.

We (Shane) napped at home and went to dinner that evening at Blue Bay. It is about a 15 minute walk from our house along the coast.

We stopped to enjoy the sunset

Then caught the end of it at our restaurant. It was beautiful, right on the water, with lots of fun boats in the bay.

I haven't been to a restaurant here where I've seen a booster seat or high chair or anything, so we decided the experience might be a little more pleasant if we brought Shane's along.

He did pretty well but after we had eaten and were waiting to pay, we let him walk around a little bit right near our table. I can't believe I am admitting this, but...I looked down and said, "Josh, Shane just stepped in dog poop!" (there were dogs wandering near the restaurant). Well, come to find out a few minutes later, through Josh telling me a little too loudly, "Hon, that's not dog poop, that's his poop!" His clothes were completely on, but he had somehow managed to pull at his diaper just enough to let it wiggle out onto the floor. Needless to say, we cleaned up, paid the bill and left quickly! Yikes! Good thing there weren't many people there. On our walk home we were pleasantly surprised by a little pre-Carnival parade.

There is a certain way you dance during Carnival, and I love this picture because you can tell they are all doing it!

You never know what fun surprises await you in Dominica!
