Beach Blanket Boo Boo

The habit of going to the beach on Mondays, our day off, has become a weekly pilgrimage. Yesterday was no different and we loaded up the coolers, hibachi, hot dogs, chips and plenty of refreshing beverages.

Although the weather was a little overcast the day was great............ UNTIL!!

As we were leaving Paul was backing up the steep hill and CRUNCH, right into the front end of this big truck with industrial grade bumpers. Our little "island Lexus" didn't fare so well.

Of course I started laughing but only because I was so relieved that I wasn't the one driving.

It was bound to happen since the roads on Saba are narrow, swervy and with tall rock walls lining the shoulders. A scratch, scrape or dent on vehicles here on Saba are known as an island "kiss".

Well, Paul, that was one Helluva smooch.........
