@liamsaunt, your photos are always delightful. And I get full just looking at the food. (kidding 😅).

 

How many of the components of the menus in Bermuda are grown there? I'm guessing fish and seafood is local, lobster when in season. Chicken? Beef? Pork? How about vegetables and fruits?

 

Some things are grown here, but most are imported like many other islands.  There are some local crops that are generally widely available: bananas, pineapple, watermelon, coconut, papaya, dandelion greens (yuck), onions, potatoes, carrots off of the top of my head.  Milk is local, there is an island dairy and they produce the milk, eggs and cream for the stores.  There is a farm for mutton, pigs, and goat.  Local fish are always available in the markets and restaurants.  It is also sold on the side of the road (this is regulated too).  There is one organic vegetable farm operation that also raises chickens and has a CSA.

 

So yesterday the ocean was too dangerous to swim in.  In the morning the beach was completely covered by the ocean waves.  I took a photo from the top of the stairs

At this point they were not even letting people down on the beach.  We went for a hike, then walked up to the golf course where my nephew is playing this morning, so he could time how long it would take him to get from the hotel to the check in area.  Of course, since it was football Sunday, he then persuaded my husband that we should go inside the adjacent sports bar and watch a bit of the game.  Sigh.
