August Monday

Today is a national holiday here in Anguilla - and it's a huge party. The ferries are filled to the max with passengers from the other islands just to see the sail boats take off from Sandy Ground for the race of the year (sail racing is THE national sport).


The port beach is crowded with bar-b-ques (chicken, fish, ribs), beverage stands (rum punch is the ONLY way to go!) and live music and LOTS of dancing in the sand!
This guy made an amazing (strong) rum punch so there are no more pics after this - haha

....well, turns out this scene was a bit too much for the Bergsteins, so we dashed off to one of our favorite beaches for the afternoon.
