Folk Wisdom. The "cedar" trees that grow in Anguilla
are currently in full bloom with white or pink flowers. It is
very attractive. Folk wisdom says not to eat barracuda or Old Wife
fish while the cedars are in bloom or you might get food poisoning.
Makes a lot of sense since the trees bloomed after 3 weeks of
passing rain storms and these same storms stir up the ocean bottom,
causing the fish to ingest more of the bacteria that causes fish
poisoning. That is the theory.
Sur La Plage.
This private villa is directly on Mead's Bay
in the West End of Anguilla. The 2 acre site has 2 villas and a studio to handle up to 8 guests:

Guest Director from New York.
This summer the Apple Theatre Company�s production of Children of Eden will be
directed by volunteer Tony Rust from Brooklyn,
New York. Tony has worked in theatre for over twenty years in many areas other than
directing; he has worked professionally as an actor and a technician among other things.
He is very enthusiastic about working with students in the company this summer,
and hopes to produce a piece of art that everyone can enjoy. Also joining him
on this venture are his wife Janet, a drama teacher in a New York public school,
and their two-year-old son Glenn. Janet will be working in a workshop with teachers
from Anguilla regarding the use of Drama as a teaching tool in the classroom.
For more information on the summer program, email Eleanor Stacey at [email protected].
P.S. Eleanor is still looking for a villa or apartment for this volunteer
couple to stay in.
