More Visitors!

I can't tell you how much we love visitors! It's so great for others to get to see where we live and what our life is like down here. So you can imagine how excited I was when my grandparents and their friends booked a cruise that stopped in Dominica. FYI- they book this cruise just months after we got engaged and knew we would both be down here after we got married. We've been anxiously awaiting their arrival ever since! :)

We had such a great time when Mamaw, Pampaw, and their friends Bob and Elaine finally got here. It was just so surreal seeing my Pampaw standing in the middle of the road in Roseau! The first place we stopped was actually the most American place on the island - Rituals, a coffee shop very similar to Starbucks. We wandered around and showed them the nicest hotel on the island, Ft. Young, we stopped so I could do a little grocery shopping, and even stopped at the open market and drank some coconut water straight from the coconut with straws!

Mamaw, Kyle, Me and Pampaw in Roseau just steps away from where the ship docked. (We really wanted to hop on their ship with them - it looked amazing!)

Soon, our driver Renz was there to pick us up, and we took the one hour transport ride to our side of the island. They got the tour of our apartment and then we walked around campus. Then we headed to PBH, a restaurant right on the beach which is absolutely gorgeous.

We had such a blast with them, and the time passed way too fast. And we definitely loved the hugs every few minutes from Mamaw. Their visit made us feel just a little closer to home. :)
