Steve is under the weather today so I am letting him sleep after taking some cold meds and I am going into town with Debbie to Starbucks to get internet so that I can work on my blog and check on facebook. After that we went back to boats picked up Steve and headed for Dunkin Donuts so he could  get online. Starbucks gives you a code for 1 hour of internet and Dunkin Donuts gives you 2 codes good for 30 minutes. The only place I get unlimited is at the Green Parrot Restaurant close to us but it opens later in the evening. I have to buy an appetizer and a drink. I can get it at the marinas here but the cost I paid in the states for a marina was all inclusive, here you pay for water separate, electricity separate and WIFI is usually not free. Some places you pay for garbage which is understandable because you are on an island and they have to burn it or usually a garbage boat takes it away from the island to somewhere else to be disposed of. Not a lot of room on an island. Fresh water is precious on the smaller islands also.

We have so much to be thankful for, I thank my ancestors everyday for their hard work and dedication that makes it possible for us to enjoy all our freedoms.  OK let me get down off my soapbox. We had a wonderful day today Steve is still feeling a little under the weather so I am signing off.
