Sea Wall

Stationed now in Georgetown in anticipation for the little sibling, Rhea and Julie are pictured on an evening stroll on the legendary sea wall.

Towers and castles are a regular talking point and we've had to learn the word 'Cathedral' to help describe St Georges more accurately.

Her latest observation has been the various Guyanese creole versus north american pronunciations.

For example:

Cat vs. 'Cyat'
Twenty vs 'Twenteh'
Goat vs 'goot'


It's funny having your two year old try to correct your accent to a more acceptable version of the queen's language. A sponge is truly an understatement in terms of her observational powers.

She of course knows all about being a big sister and has started talking regularly on the subject.
