Our epic journey to Green Island began as they always do, in the checkered foyer of the train station. In a circle, we snack and strum and wait for everyone to arrive.

At the dock, we bought straw hats and made a fairly accurate Charlie's Angels. Tiff, Tina and Angela dreaming of what Green Island will be like. Angela's face foreshadows the doom awaiting her leg. |

The Goat Story
 |
A girl sees a lonely goat by the blue sea |
 |
Clearly, he wanted to be friends
 A little aggressive but keepin' it cool |
Then I know his friendship was all pretend. He just wants me for my hat!
