Emma takes us to our dive site
Today we all had the Tradewinds chat with Ashley. Bill and Barb bought into TWE! Perfect since he likes to dive.

After lunch we got our dive briefing and set up all of our equipment. We took a shallow 25 foot dive at Creole Rock. Divers: Bill, Tom, Sandy, Victor and Emma, our divemaster. The visibility was not great - maybe 15 feet. The bottom was sandy with sea grass. We saw: eagle ray, sea turtle, parrot fish, squirrel fish, trumpet fish, needle fish, puffer fish, file fish, large grouper. 
Checking equipment.

Ready to go!

On our way!
A successful first dive!
We went into Grand Case and went through several shops on Grand Case Boulevard. 




Barb found a pareo that was an amazing match for her dress. 

We found our way to Calmos for our reservation for a table in the sand. 


Rick and I shared garlic shrimp and trigger fish. Our French waiter brought each check to the table in little boxes. Very cute little spot.

Ruth liked the waiter.
Sandy liked the wine!
Each couple's bill came in a little box. Each waiter had his own decoration for the boxes.
These boxes made paying your bill more fun.
