Some Photos

Kim and I played our first round of golf in Bermuda last Saturday. We played at a place called Belmont Hills, thinking we might join the club since it's reasonably close to where we live.

We had a 2:08 tee time, but were late getting off. The place was overcrowded with foursomes and seemed pretty disorganized. We were paired with another twosome and it turns out that this "semi-private" club is mostly public. Play was pretty slow and it ended up getting too dark to finish. We quit after about fourteen holes. Beautiful course, though, with many great views of the ocean. And it was a tough and interesting course that we would probably enjoy playing (without the crowds). Greens were tough to read but they could have been in better condition -- my putting was terrible.

Doubt that we'll join. We've pretty much decided we need more personal service and pampering before we're willing to shell out thousands on a membership. We may try another club this weekend.

On Sunday, Kim and I walked over to the National Stadium just to locate it. We're going to the World Rugby Classic there tomorrow night and think it might be easier to walk to it rather than try to drive, then park. Our Sunday walk was sort of a "test walk". Plus, it was a beautiful day and we wanted to get out and enjoy the weather. Here are a few pictures taken on that walk.




And here's a view as you approach High Corners.


And finally, the sunrises (about 6:45 am) have been great. (I suspect the sunsets are also good but we're on the wrong side of the island).


That's it for today. Weather continues to be balmy.
