Beach near our B & B, just outside of Nassau

Happy New Year! I am thrilled to usher in 2010. Last year was the most challenging one of my life: publishing a book and working my day-job in advertising while dealing with the break-up of my marriage mid-year. [Now you know why I had not been posting as frequently as I used to.]

Flash forward to much happier times...I spent a wonderful Xmas in the Bahamas. It's a lovely, laid-back country, albeit an extremely difficult place to be vegan. (One can only consume so much pasta and salad!). I leave you with a few shots of island life.

Happy 2010! I hope this years brings health and happiness for everyone.


Our B & B. Only 8 rooms! Much more tranquil than the resort scene in Nassau.

B & B entryway. Doesn't it look like a pirates' hideaway?



Flamingos chilling at Adastra Gardens

Veggie burger and fries at Compass Point. Heaven, especially after 5 consecutive plates of pasta.
