Antigua is beautiful. Antigua is too beautiful. Sometimes the beauty of it
seems unreal. Sometimes the beauty of it seems as if it were stage sets for
a play, for no real sunset could look like that; no real seawater could strike
that many shades of blue at once.... No real sand on any real shore is
that fine or that white (in some places) or that pink (in other places)....
