DAY 6: TRIPLE 'S' DAY: SUNDAY & SUN & STAR

...I am told this is the golden rule : 
"any days starting with `S` translate to a day at the beach (sun), and some nice cold
Star beer``.

..I did a little blog update after breakfast with Francois, installing myself comfortably on the terrace...



...every Sunday there is a brunch buffet set up at the outdoor dining room...


...today, the chef was preparing roasted lamb and other delicious looking dishes...but as we have settled into a comfortable routine of dining well at the breakfast buffet, a snack miday, then supper, we headed on to our now favourite beach spot instead...


...our trusted 'art dealer brothers' arrived to take us to their 'studio' so we could decide on a souvenir to bring home...

...lots of Ashanti artifacts...


...this was our choice...Francois thinks maybe teak with some sort of metal inlay around the faces...stands about 24" high....it's very old (dealer said it belonged to his grandfather although I now understand that calling someone a family member is a very loose concept)...how to get it home will be another issue....didn't really think this one through...but we both REALLY like it.


...Francois got a leg massage...  
...tech guy for the course got one too..while texting naturally...
...and me saying 'no thank you' to a beach pedicure for the tenth time...
...lots of colourful characters around today...

...lots of people swimming...



...lots of good wind...

...lots of musical entertainment...





...and when I tried to capture some agressive activitiy on film, Francois told me it was time to return to our nest...
