Lesser Antilles Day 3

 We looked at the Antigua and Barbuda national museum, a tiny place, featuring a larger than life fiberglass statue of Sir Vivian Edwards, the West Indies' greatest cricketer. Take that, Trinidad, with your obscure little VS Naipaul! And I here take the opportunity to present the Antilles' most ubiquitous birds, the grey kingbird,  a noisy little thing...




 and the Zenaida dove, not at all noisy.


After than we had a very nice lunch, down at the quays, at the C&C Wine store, featuring South African wines, which have improved, and a meat lasagna, not at all bad. Marjorie had a tasty curry. in general, if you're down here, eat curry; the curries here use a much more fragrant curry powder than the US or even the UK.

Then we goofed off, near the pool, where I spotted a Leach's anole.
