Barbados - September

2005-10-12T00:07:00.000-04:00

I just found this picture, it's from a while ago, but could not be ignored for obvious reasons.....I think Rokash may have just ripped his shirt open, Mr. Hogan styles, just for the picture.....p.s. this was at an all you can drink bar.

2005-10-12T00:02:00.000-04:00

Being trucked back to the farmhouse after a scorching hot field trip was saved by an awesome tropical storm. It was amazing to see how it could be so terribly dry and then have 10 inch puddles of water so quickly, and then to see the sky clear up just as quickly as if nothing had happened, which is actually just business as usual for mother nature here in Barbados....(Not shown: Ted's bruise from Rokosh tackling him into a puddle)

2005-10-11T23:54:00.000-04:00

Danae thought he was enjoying the picture, but the toad later told me he actually wasn't.....(he even peed on her a couple of times)

2005-10-11T23:51:00.000-04:00

Who wouldn't love this face.....I mean c'mon

2005-10-11T23:49:00.000-04:00

I've been replaced.There's a new Blue Steel in town and there's only enough room for one of us in these parts.......LaTigra still riegns supreme.

2005-10-11T23:46:00.000-04:00

The simplicity of Barbados. There only exists one other kind of sign, "Out Of City".

2005-10-11T23:45:00.000-04:00

Some shops closed down for the night

2005-10-03T13:50:00.000-04:00

Oistens fish fry. Every Friday half the island comes here for a fish feast and massive party, total madness.

2005-10-03T13:48:00.000-04:00

I like those odds

2005-10-03T13:47:00.000-04:00

You snooze you lose, that went for that pile of plates beside me too, hehe

2005-10-03T13:44:00.000-04:00

This is what the sunset looks like every night at Bellairs

2005-10-03T13:43:00.000-04:00

A deslanization plant.....see I am doing some work

2005-10-03T13:40:00.000-04:00

The cab ride back from a party....blurry, but a good indication of what everyone was seeing at that moment.

2005-10-03T13:32:00.000-04:00

That's the man himself in the yellow shirt, Rocky.

2005-10-03T13:31:00.000-04:00

The local watering hole, just down the street

2005-10-03T13:28:00.000-04:00

Waiting in vain

2005-10-03T13:27:00.000-04:00

This is Bathsheba, the best surf spot on the island. Down on this coast is were the pro's hold tournaments. I think there is one in November......hopefully I'll be good enough to win by then.

2005-09-22T20:42:00.000-04:00

Last day of the beard.....not a laughing matter

2005-09-22T20:40:00.000-04:00

Rud Bwoys onde tour bus

2005-09-22T20:35:00.000-04:00

160 feet below sea level, deep down in Harrison's caves.

2005-09-22T20:33:00.000-04:00

Roko standing off with a cock......the winner gets the chicks

2005-09-22T20:30:00.000-04:00

Mangrove

2005-09-22T20:28:00.000-04:00

The east coast from near the middle of the island

2005-09-22T20:24:00.000-04:00

Caitlin is almost one tracker tire high

2005-09-19T22:57:00.000-04:00

Me Tarzan

2005-09-19T22:52:00.000-04:00

Amelie busts out her nail clippers and starts going to town, right before a meeting at the Enviromental Planning Division.....AND she didn't see what the problem was. Amazing

2005-09-19T22:47:00.000-04:00

We finally found a use for the "Less Stress".....chillin' (also appropriate)

2005-09-19T22:45:00.000-04:00

Crab and a snail, I'm eating like a king tonight

2005-09-19T22:44:00.000-04:00

Goin' on a crab hunt, gunna catch a big one....

2005-09-19T22:42:00.000-04:00

Just a good picture

2005-09-19T22:37:00.000-04:00

Next door neighbours beach, not bad.....but now I have to walk an extra three steps

2005-09-19T22:35:00.000-04:00

No more beach....and it probably won't come back as long as I'm here, ahh well time to invade our neighbours

2005-09-19T22:33:00.000-04:00

A tropical storm nearby has been giving us awsome waves for the last couple days, but it's washed out our beach

2005-09-19T22:29:00.000-04:00

Such a nice day....and I have to write a paper!!! AHHHHH

2005-09-19T22:24:00.000-04:00

Dr. B left and the next prof doesn't show up till tomorrow.....PARTY ON HIS BALCONY!! When the cats are away, the mice will play

2005-09-19T22:18:00.000-04:00

Fading away into the hammock....but I still didn't spill my drink

2005-09-19T22:16:00.000-04:00

The turtle slapped him for trying and then gave hima fake phone number

2005-09-19T22:14:00.000-04:00

Say hi to the camera

2005-09-19T22:11:00.000-04:00

Bellairs used to be the place that took care of putting hatchling sea turtles safely back into the water, 5 years ago. We still get about five calls a day and that night a man actually brought them to us......Man those turtles were deeeeelicious! I'm kidding.

2005-09-19T22:06:00.000-04:00

Puny little people on the ground, they look like ants.......oh wait

2005-09-19T22:05:00.000-04:00

Who wants a drink?

2005-09-19T22:01:00.000-04:00

Done and done....and in only 20 days

2005-09-19T21:59:00.000-04:00

After this night, I'd believe that Amelie was raised by monkeys

2005-09-19T21:58:00.000-04:00

Rokosh, bearing a striking resemblance to a seal

2005-09-19T21:54:00.000-04:00

I have a million pictures of them, they're so awsome.

2005-09-19T21:52:00.000-04:00

The baby in the monkey family, he's so tiny

2005-09-19T21:50:00.000-04:00

The absolute best addition Bellairs, Hammock town, down in the hammock distrcit....on hammock street.

2005-09-12T17:17:00.000-04:00

LaTigra & Blue Steel. This picture kills me every time I look at it

2005-09-12T17:11:00.000-04:00

So many captions going through my head right now.....but this is a family site

2005-09-12T17:04:00.000-04:00

Yeah that's right, I dive....see I'm holding that thingamagigger

2005-09-12T16:59:00.000-04:00

The dive boat. Hightide is conveniently stationed next door and they use tanks from Bellairs. You give a little, you get a little.

2005-09-12T16:54:00.000-04:00

Maybe a little too much, that might hurt in a few hours. Washroom's over there Robo

2005-09-12T16:52:00.000-04:00

Bajan hot sauce.....ahhh it can't be that hot

2005-09-12T16:51:00.000-04:00

Left to fend for ourselves on the weekned, I pulled together some of my cullinary skills to make a classic Aguanno-sized trough of, uhhh, food? It used to be full, don't let sight of it deceive you, it was good.

2005-09-12T16:47:00.000-04:00

Bellairs beach entrance from the dive boat (that arrow isn't actually there)

2005-09-12T16:45:00.000-04:00

Check out this crack team of scuba divers, 100% certified baby

2005-09-12T16:39:00.000-04:00

One of the members of the family of green monkeys that live at Bellairs up in the lime tree

2005-09-09T14:13:00.000-04:00

An ocra field, one of the ingredients in the national dish, corn boiled in liquified potatoes with chopped ocra over flying fish, I've yet to try it...

2005-09-09T14:10:00.000-04:00

Arie breaking the law. All beaches in Barbados are public, but this one is too dangerous to swim in.

2005-09-09T14:07:00.000-04:00

Dr. B taking a flash to the retina's down a well. I may lose some marks for that one.

2005-09-09T14:04:00.000-04:00

Kovo and I rockin' the spot

2005-09-09T14:03:00.000-04:00

The dirtector of BADMC (Barbados Agriculture D---- Ministry C-----) talking about irrigation. I don't remember what the D and C stand for. Probably DJ and Crossfader from the sounds of that acronym.

2005-09-09T13:55:00.000-04:00

First day of school AND a field trip. We also got lunch and juice boxes packed for us, but no snack packs.

2005-09-07T00:02:00.000-04:00

The Lake at the Sanctuary, it's surrounded by mangroves. My job is to keep it this full all year round and the community next door is being constantly flooded.........hmmmmm

2005-09-06T17:03:00.000-04:00

I'm glad I don't have to use my nose to scratch my ass

2005-09-06T17:01:00.000-04:00

The brightest birds I've ever seen

2005-09-06T16:58:00.000-04:00

Nope, they're real.....and huge

2005-09-06T16:57:00.000-04:00

Ha-low, Ha-low, Ha-low.......

2005-09-06T16:55:00.001-04:00

Shootin' the shit with his bud in the corner

2005-09-06T16:55:00.000-04:00

This guy was terrified of me

2005-09-06T16:54:00.000-04:00

My bosses and partner walking through the parrot cage

2005-09-06T16:53:00.000-04:00

Just like in the cartoons.....except without the mexican hats

2005-09-06T16:52:00.000-04:00

Some parrots said hello to me as I walked into the sanctuary

2005-09-06T16:50:00.000-04:00

Out of focus leezard. Still learning the camera

2005-09-06T16:47:00.000-04:00

Every Sunday a live band plays next door at the hotel

2005-09-05T14:10:00.000-04:00

That's the "Less Stress", he chills off Bellairs beach. I've never seen him work, appropriate name I guess

2005-09-05T14:08:00.000-04:00

The East Block

2005-09-05T14:07:00.000-04:00
