While the Senegalese celebrated a religious holiday, my friends and I enjoyed a day at the beach. It is a brief boat ride across to the island. We toured around the island before finding a spot by the water.
The island is inhabited but does not have roads or any motorized vehicles. It boasts beautiful architecture, ocean views, and plant life.

A quaint little Italian restaurant where we enjoyed lunch.
After our day at the beach we came home to the Sandcastle. Danielle taught me how to make pie crust and we made a key lime pie and an apple pie. We spent the evening watching Pushing Daisies which happens to feature a pie maker and his shop. A delicious end to a lovely day.
I would've enjoyed this kind of day! The beach, italian food, and pie! :) You'll have to teach me how to make the crust in the summer. Pushing Daisies was your idea, n'est pas? A very Alicia-way to complete a perfect day!
