Directions: starting in the airport parking lot, take the only exit and turn left, then left again past the airport entrance, straight through the roundabout, and west down the main island road. Continue straight through the Sandy Ground roundabout and drive about 5 miles. The side road into Meads Bay reconnects with the main road, so you can take either turn off. The first is a paved right turn after CusinArt but before Sonesta; it should have a sign for Frangipani Resort. This goes through Long Bay village and down a hill to the Malliouhana hotel. There is public beach access right at the bottom of the hill. The road continues along the beach and pond and reconnects with the main road at La Sirena hotel.

You can get Chinese dishes at reasonable prices
in Anguilla.
Try the Oriental Restaurant. They offer
all the standard Chinese dishes like sweet and sour chicken, plus
Nasi Goreng, with chicken, pork, beef or shrimp.
Although they have a nice bar and table area, you will also see
a steady stream of customers at lunch and dinner time
dropping by to pickup their take-away orders. Open 11 to 11 every day.
The Oriental Restaurant used to be located in The Quarter, but moved to a brand new building in The Valley in December 1997. Anna the propreitess tells us that she has been open in Anguilla since 1982. Before that they lived in St. Martin, Costa Rica, and originally, Canton, China. Telephone: 1-264-497-2763.
Directions: located next to Fairplay Center/IGA in The Valley. From the airport parking lot, take the only exit, turn left and left again past the airport entrance. Then turn right at the roundabout, go into The Valley, turn left at the post office and you should see the Oriental Restaurant on the right in the next block.

![[Click for Caribbean Silk Screen]](images/silkscreen01.jpg)
Ever wonder where hotels get their staff polo shirts
with the embroidered logo and name?
Caribbean Silk Screen in South Hill is the answer (look for
their sign on the cliff overlooking Sandy Ground, not
far from the roundabout).
They also make t-shirts of course. To the right is one of their original t-shirt patterns, one of the most popular. Caribbean Silk Screen Co started business some 17 years ago and can do custom silk screen and embroidered logos (with their computer systems). They have both the wholesale production facility and a retail outlet on the premises. Visit their shop to see the shirts actually being made and study their large inventory.
New web page: CaribbeanSilkScreen.com
The latest addition to this family-run operation is a new building for their
OSSIA Massage and Esthetics.

Go straight through the Sandy Ground roundabout into South Hill and watch for the right turn into Caribbean Silk Screen in about 1/2 mile.

Anguilla has a unique vegetarian choice for lunch at
CuisinArt Resort and Spa.
Seating is outside under a shade awning, but you
are escorted into the greenhouse to choose your lunch
from an extensive vegetarian buffet. After you negotiate
your likes with the chef,
he prepares and serves it.
The day we visited the buffet included a fine couscous salad, eggplant prepared two ways, haricots (beans), sliced, freshly vine-ripened tomatoes, grilled peppers, and much more. Everything on offer was vegetarian. The Antipasto plate at $15 was more than enough for two. But we didn't know that and added a $5 head of hydroponic bib lettuce in a baked bread bowl. A very reasonable lunch for Anguilla. There was far more than we could eat, so it didn't matter that there is no dessert menu.
Kalinga is the chef and maitre'd at the Hydroponic Cafe.
He moved from Zaire to Maryland at age 14, went
to college in Rhode Island, and met the owner of CuisinArt in
Miami and was offered a job in Anguilla.

Directions: starting from the airport parking lot, take the only exit and turn left, then left again, past the airport entrance, straight through the roundabout and west down the island along the main road. Continue straight through the Sandy Ground roundabout into South Hill and continue for several miles. The left turn for CuisinArt is just past the turn off for Anguilla Great House. When you enter the resort, you will find the hydroponic cafe on the left of the gate house and guest parking to the right of the lobby.

Vodou Influences... from Canada's Yukon. What began two years ago in 1998 as a simple e-mail request for information on techniques used by Haitian artisans to produce their beautiful vodou flags has developed into a show by this Canadian artist at Savannah Gallery, Anguilla in the Caribbean�s Leeward Islands.Dawson�s Shelley Hakonson was researching Haitian vodou spirits and culture to help her develop style and technique for a series of upcoming works. While surfing the Internet, she found the website of Savannah Gallery, which features contemporary Caribbean art from throughout the region. The gallery also specializes in Haitian art, which caught Shelley�s eye. That�s when the relationship began.
Savannah Gallery responded to her request and e-mails went back and forth for some time. As Savannah�s owners are Canadian, they were intrigued even more by Shelley�s interest in vodou art and helped fill in as many blanks as possible for her research. Hakonson sent a couple of photos of one of her works, �Iguana,� including close-ups of the detail. The Gallery was impressed with what they saw and broached the idea of doing an exhibition in Anguilla, which came to fruition on March 9, 2000 and runs until March 30th.The work includes: intricate bead & sequin work; subtle acrylic paint foundations; clever use of fabric and elaborate stitching with various threads.
�Vodou is far more complicated than I ever imagined. I didn�t realize how deeply Catholic beliefs had infused and blended with ancient tribal customs of Africa.�My work reflects only the surface. I have attempted to blend into these pieces, some of the same techniques that vodou artists use on their flags. This series of work is my �take� on this fascinating religion. It represents the viewpoint of a Scottish-Canadian woman, living in Canada�s far north.�

Pet Adoption Web Site.
There are a number of adorable pets on Anguilla looking for homes. A new pet can add untold hours of joy to your family and provide you with more unconditional love than you can imagine. Consider adopting a pet that needs a home if your family is ready for this addition, rather than acquiring a purebred from another country. Mixed breeds are often the smartest, sweetest and have the best temperaments of all dogs.

And a frequent and long-time Anguilla visitor has posted a short review of this new restaurant to the Anguilla Anguilla Tête-à-Tête forum. If you have tried Sapphire and want to add your comments, Click Here.
This new restaurant opened less than a month ago and, although we didn't get to try it for dinner, we were their first guests for lunch and think this place is going to be a comer. Visually, it is quite appealing with it's whitewash throughout and its bold accents of appealing blues picked up in decorations, glassware, etc. hence the name Sapphire. The owner, Pedro, used to be the maitre d' at Cap Juluca and learned his lessons well. Try their vegetable pizza. Quite different in its crust, quite appealing in its taste. The view is charming too with sights of Marigot and St. Martin.

Parasailing. Emma Royden (email: [email protected]) writes:
Although I have been travelling to and from Anguilla since the age of 5 and lived on island for a year between Sept 98 and Sept 99, I don't think that we have ever met, although I have heard much about you and all the computer/internet work that you do, and you are probably aware of some work that I did last summer with a friend of mine Eleanor Stacey. Together we put on Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat at the Ruthwill, Eleanor directed and I was stage manager. I am also a subscriber to news.ai which I am grateful for as it keeps me posted on all the news and events whilst I am in England where I live.The reason for this email, apart from the brief life history, is that whilst on one of my usual excursions into the world wide web, I discovered your home page and was amazed and delighted to find two links which were for friends of mine - Nature Boy, and Dandy and King (Second Wind Watersports). The picture of Nature Boy is great and you can't help smiling when you look at him (he's such a smilie kinda guy:), but I thought that you might be able to use some better pictures for Second Wind. Since Parasailing became a kinda hobby to me during the summer I have some nice pictures of me parasailing and also a nice one of King and Dandy which I thought you might like to use.

Anguilla Forums: Tête-à-TêteMonkeys. Went for a walk with the neighbors and the dog early this morning - and we saw a monkey! Watched it jump up and down the rocks and trees, then heard another "monkey-like" sound, and thought we saw another one. Then one of our group saw both at the same time. Small, long tails. Monkeys are not indigenous to Anguilla, as far as I know.
