Kim Sha beach is where they have a lot of events and concerts and such. Apparently Akon ( He's a famous rapper for those that don't know who he is) will be here in March for the Regatta. Aaron and I want to go see him just to say we went to a concert on the island since I think it will be free. At least that is what I am assuming.
Most beaches (if not all beaches) have a restaurant on the beach. Kim Sha's restaurant is the Buccaneer Beach Bar. At this particular restaurant, in order to sit on the chairs they have set out you have to buy a drink. So the spouses org purchases non alcoholic drinks for everyone and we get to use the chairs. The water is usually fairly calm, so its perfect for the kids to go run in and play. Addison got especially brave at this one, and would run into the water farther than I wanted sometimes. We even saw a stingray in the water. Its a beautiful beach.

I guess maybe I need to explain what the AUC spouses organization is as well. The spouses organization is a group that holds events for the spouses. Being on this island can be pretty lonely at times especially with our spouses in school so this gives the spouses who aren't in a school a chance to get together with others. They become like family.
Thursday Addison and I went to Simpson Bay with Stephanie. We went to a toy store with the kids, and then to a beauty supply store, and then another little party supply store. After that we stopped at a restaurant called Top Carrot in Simpson Bay.
(again not my picture, thank you google images).
Top Carrot is a interesting little store, I say interesting because you kind of get the hippy/bohemian vibe in there, with maybe some Buddhism or something.Its basically all vegan. They do offer one or two sandwiches with some Turkey or Tuna but for the most part, its really vegan. They make all kinda of juices and smoothies fresh, and then this really good sand which that both Stephanie and I got. It had avocados, tomatoes, basil, mozzarella, and bell peppers. It was the most delicious sand which ever. Its actually more toast than a sand which because the bread is all open and everything is stacked on top. I am excited to have another one of their sand which's.
It was a lot of fun, and I'm glad Stephanie was willing to take me along to see a few different stores in Simpson Bay.
Friday we test drove a car. We haven't had a car here since we got here, and its been slightly stressful. Like I've mentioned in past posts we have people willing to take us to stores and stuff so we can get food, but I have a doctors appt tomorrow and I hate that someone has to take me, and then wait for me. Its also a little hard when having a little one. If we needed to run to the hospital with Addison for any reason at one point in time or another than it would extremely stressful trying to get there, or even with my pregnancy if anything was to go wrong. With all the great people on the island though, I'm sure if we had an emergency someone would be willing to rush us were ever we needed to go.
Anyway, so we may or may not be getting it. We are supposed to get it around the end of February, so if everything goes as planned. We will finally have a car, just in time for me to go back to the states and have this baby,
It was a great 3 days seeing a little more of the island. :)
