Last weekend I (bathing)suited up for the annual Vistage retreat. Vistage is a business organization for CEOs from all walks of life, each bringing unique and beneficial advice to the group. The group meets monthly, however to kick of each Summer we take it overseas (well, just to the Bahamas) for a one-of-a-kind pow wow.
The experience was definitely not "all work and no play". After our daily morning sessions, I was able to peruse the island, soak up the culture, cuisine, and more conch that I could ever imagine. Check out some of the images from my trip and look our for Bahamian influences on many of my summer menus.

I have never had tuna so fresh in my life, just add salt, pepper and a squirt of lemon juice and I was in heaven. In addition to MY (emphasis on the "my") tuna sashimi, I also tried conch a number of ways! A staple of the Bahamian diet, I had the mollusk fresh out of the shell, fried, in a salad and on pasta! Taking a page from Andrew Zimmern, I even tried the "Bahamian Viagra" which is a and is known for its aphrodisiac qualities.

As always, I had a great time in Bimini and learning a ton about the culture!
