Back from Caribbean, off to North Carolina

Hi all!
We're now back from the Caribbean, after six weeks of adventure. We're super busy packing for our cross-country move (the truck arrived today!). Just wanted to share some pictures from the islands we visited. Enjoy!

This picture is of 11-Mile Beach on the island of Barbuda. When you get up close, the beach sand looks pink because of the many crushed pink shells. We explored all along this beach and even found some turtle tracks where a turtle had come to lay her eggs. Very exciting!!

This is a photo I took at a botanical garden on the French island of Guadeloupe. The flower petals are all very hard and waxy!

Here's an example of the crazy tree roots we saw on a paddle upriver on the island of Dominica.
