Here are the pictures that my friend Kris gave me.

I told Kris the other day that I wish we had known that Drapers was a rough area before we went. Her reply was "eh, we survived- and have lots of interesting stories. Plus the beaches were great". She's a cool girl.

Here's her pictures. Enjoy!

Part of the back yard at Jamaica Jewel. If you go, ask to see the baby bunnies.

Me and Louie on Jamaica Jewel's patio

Matt and Louie on the beach at Duncans beach

Duncan's Bay pics

The next morning Kris and I snuck out and went swimming at the beach

A storm was rolling in

Walked back to Jamaica Jewel just before the rain started

In Drapers:

These pictures were taken from Mitzies. This can give you a distance idea, to Search Me Heart and Pakka's cook shop, these places are all close together. Both within a stones throw from Mitzie's.

I really like the looks of Duncan's Bay & San San! Sounds like Kris & Louie were pretty patient with the situation - that's great! Some wonderful pics here between you & Kris!

Grew up in the country with chickens and near train. I kinda like some racket when I sleep- it's all what you are used to-lol.

NOT funny rooster trivia- We always had wicked roosters. When I was very small I was lovin up one of the hens, musta pissed off a rooster. He jumped on my back and spurred me. My brother shot him.

Had another dirty ***$#@^ that would attack my mom in the yard over and over. She finally got sick of him and beat him with a broom. He fell over all upside down dead lookin against a shed. My dad was like "Well, I guess you feel bad now?" Humph- He was back up runnin around before too long.

Moral of these stories? Apparently our house was not the best place to be a rooster....

ROFL Sophie! The visual is just too much!!

Hey I remember that old house in PA.....a bazillion bats fly from underneath the roof each night about 7pm. I tried to photograph them at the time but didn't have the right lens...
