So, here I am in Nassau, The Bahamas.
I was met this afternoon at the airport by Mr. Alfred Dean, a multi-talented young man who is the co-director of the Bahamas National Children's Choir, and who also, as far as I've been able to find out from this shy and self-deprecating musician, plays for multitudinous church services each week, arranges all the BNCC tour details, teaches seminars, AND takes care of visiting piano technicians. I'm priviledged to have made his acquaintence, and especially priviledged to have him taking care of me during my stay here. THANK YOU, ALFRED! He treated me tonight to a delightful dinner of grouper fingers, cole slaw, fried plantains, and "peas and rice". Here
are a couple of pictures I took of him. 
Alfred has a great soul, a terrific personality, and tremendous musican talent, and I'm sure I will cherish the time I get to spend with him.
I did get a little time to walk around downtown Nassau this afternoon, and, even though all the shops were closed, it was still very interesting.
I can't get the "add image" icon to work right now. Nothing really spectacular this afternoon, anyway, except for some nice shots of the wharf area where all the HUGE cruise ships come in. I have a hard time believing how really big they all are. I'll try to get some pictures later, but they probably won't show the real nature of the thing, as usual.
Change that, I DID get it to work. This is a picture of a tree just outside of my window that's COVERED in some kind of seed pods, and they rattle in the wind to make this tremendous sound like a hurricane is coming or something. It's really weird!

Here are a few more for today. These are some steps I walk down to get to downtown Nassau. I don't know if I'll be at this same establishment for the whole time I'm here. Alfred indicated that I would move to a larger room or a different place before the end of my stay.
For now, it's time for bed. I've been up since 4:30 after a long night as the symphony "piano preparer" last night, and I'm just beat. Steinway reconstruction begins tomorrow!
Ministry of Tourism and Aviation. Hmmm.
