Food here on the island is very expensive. A gallon of milk is $10; a loaf of bread $5. And, much to Bill's dismay, a case of beer is between $43 and $48! Feeding our group of 18 has been a challenge, but Lisa has been doing a great job of going to the local grocer's every day to buy what the cooks need for our meals. We did bring, what we had heard was "hard to get" items, with us to Eleuthera, such as beef tenderloin and cheeses. If we were to come again, we would definitely pack more food into our suitcases!
Today we chartered a fishing boat and took an excursion out to the deep seas to try to catch tonight's dinner. I did catch my first (and only) fish, a snapper,which was very exciting. Fortunately, the others were much better fishermen than I. They caught enough snapper, grouper, and yellow tail to feed our clan. Can't wait to taste it!
