West Indies & Ann's Birthday





We were off to St. Croix again this year for the West Indies Croquet Championships.






It was a great visit to see the "Beer Drinking Pigs" and play the finals on Sunday on an extremely slow court in a continuing rain. Soggy might be a better description.






















Touring the island and having an official Police escort to the Domino Club was definitely a unique experience. The "Commish" and I managed to hold on until the Finals when a premature peg out by an unknown player left me with no partner. Once again a "Runner Up"








































Then it was off to Miami to celebrate Ann's Birthday with a whirlwind tour of Miami, South Beach, Miami Springs, Hialeah, Coral Gables, Vizcaya (Deerings estate & gardens). Wednesday we went to Hallandale and Hollywood Beach for luncheon with Audrey and then jetted back home, exhausted.
