Hope Town

While waiting on Jackie O's necessary boat parts in Marsh Harbour, (which I am very happy to announce have finally arrived), Nate and I decided to take the 25 minute Albury Ferry across the water and spend the day in Hope Town, Elbow Cay.  Hope Town is a quaint little village that was founded by Loyalists who were escaping the American Revolution.  It's known for the candy-striped lighthouse which is one of only two kerosene lit lighthouses in all the world.  The architecture reminded me of little doll houses as each building or home is brightly painted in various shades of pink, blue, yellow, green and even purple.  A very charming little area.  We walked the entire island on foot.  On one end of the island, we found a cute little aqua blue house with sea green trim called the Sugar Shack.  We indulged in a few sweet drinks and then made our way to the other end of the island where a white sandy beach awaited our arrival.  We spent the remainder of the day exploring the palm-edged shoreline and studied curious creatures from the ocean.  The varied beauty of the island was such a gift for both of us and Hope Town will remain a sweet spot in my memory.
