We're Driving Now


Our new Daihatsu Terios has been wonderful. Thanks to Jack we have been cruising around Bermuda listening to some old Grateful Dead cassettes. Life is good. Life is good for Limerick too as our car has allowed us to take her more places on the island. We even discovered a great underground dog park. The Botanical Gardens in Bermuda are a wonderful area to walk your dog. You can walk the dogs through paths of flowers, wildlife, and wonderful gardens. This week we even discover a secret society of dog lovers! There is a ring in the garden which I have been told is for horses, but Monday-Thursday people bring their dogs to this fenced in ring for a romp session at 6:30pm. The reason this is shady is due to the large sign that says, "NO DOGS ALLOWED!" We are all respectful dog owners and pick up poo, but still the off-leashing of dogs in this area is not encouraged. Limerick had an initiation Wednesday, but passed with flying colors. The other owners don't want aggressive dogs to join this play session.

Last night we went out for a curry buffet at the Elbow Beach Resort with some friends. Curry is big here as there is a strong influence from the English. I didn't know that the Brit's enjoyed their curry, but I guess that is true and there are many places on the island that have extensive curry menus. Bermuda's expanding Indian population is also a reason for curry being added to many menus. Good old Erie, PA didn't have that cultural influence, so Ryan and I are now discovering this new food. A buffet was the way to go, as you could try many different dishes. The buffet was $18 and beer/wine was $6 a glass. It was quite a reasonable meal for Bermuda.

We are excited for a long Labor Day weekend! I hope you enjoy yours.

Until next time...
