My commute

Here are some photos from my commute down the hill every day:

This is from the top of my driveway as I start the trek downward.  About a week ago I got to the top of the driveway and there was a flock of sheep grazing on the grassy patches.  They took off running as soon as they saw me.  I think they escaped from the place about halfway up (I always hear sheep when I pass that place).
 
Jost van Dyke in the distance.  I love pausing here to look out over the water.
 
Round the corner from the last photo.  There's the bay.
 
 
Continuing on downward...
 
 
Almost down the hill...
 
 
Down the hill and heading into work.
And then I do it all in reverse at the end of my shift.  
I have learned that open toed shoes are a big no-no on the hill.  At night there are ROUS (rodents of unusual size) that scamper across the road when I shine my flashlight ahead of me.  One night I saw a tarantula crossing the road (it was as big as my hand).  But I am just tickled to bits and loving life (ROUS beside the point)!

Living the dream

 
 
This is the view from my living room.  I can't believe it.  Every day I think I must be in a coma somewhere and just living some fantasy life.
 
 
This is the view from the balcony.  Unbelievable.  I really love my apartment and view... until I have to climb up the hill after work...
 
 
And this is where I work.  Does it get any better than this?  (Coming soon:  A cooler and some more shelves.  Right now I have to unpack and pack up boxes of booze and my beer cooler which I stash in my outside bar.)
I am really enjoying the simplicity.  Am hoping that soon Oreo can join me and we will be a happy island family again!
