June 3rd, 2003.
This
Tuesday, one week after starting our road trip, we were obliged
to return the jeep. But, before we did, we decided to complete our
tour of the whole island by taking a last jaunt up to the very rich
neighborhood on the north tip, called Cap Estate. The houses here
were ostentatious but a couple were very beautiful. The coastal
road was winding and steep and hard to negotiate, and made us both
relieved that we were about to become pedestrians!
En
route back to Rodney Bay, we detoured to look at the imposing ornate
structure with cement facade of St. Jospeh the Worker Roman Catholic
Church, built in 1926.
For
dinner on Tuesday, we finally managed to meet up with Tara's second
cousing, Mervyn, and his platonic friend, Tricia. Peter had planned
to finish his night watching the first game of the NBA Finals but when we
reached the sports bar, we were faced with the broadcast of the Miss Universe
beauty contest instead (I heard that Miss Alpha Centurii was stuffing her bra), to both our dismay! Needless to say, we
didn't stay.
