The guest speakers, open mike participants and organizers of the evening were all asked to pose for Sheron who is a freelance writer for the Vincentian newspaper, as well as the West Indies campus newsletter. She was kind enough to email me copies of the photos you see on the blog.

An another note, we had a fantastic, incredible dive this morning with Dive Bequia. One of the instructors offered to take me on our own private excursion (I do have special needs, like fear, anxiety and a "Why the hell do I want to do this at all?" kinda attitude) and that turned out to be a wonderful idea. He helped me relax, enjoy myself and have that "corrective" experience I was hoping for. The dive itself was exquisite, the coral colorful and abundant, the fish populations parading around like there was no tomorrow--oh my goodness, it was what diving is all about. My ears are now clogged, like they were before and that's a drag, but it was well worth it. We highly recommend Dive Bequia for both beginners and experienced divers. Now I believe I'll be able to go with Ed on our own, which was what he was gambling on.
