Things!

So much has happened in the last few days...it is hard to remember it all...should have found time to blog about it as it happened.

Here's a quirk.

I was in the restroom at El Ray, a huge supermarket in David. I was at the urinal, using it, and the female attendant came in and started working, with me in progress. I guess this is the custom here.

I was so shocked I almost turned round and...well, you get the picture.

We are in rainbow season now. The fine mist that cascades over the continental divide from the Caribbean creates the most amazing rainbows. I tried to capture one in a picture for you. I think these pics actually show the massive width of the rainbows.

We attended a big party on New Years day, one of the most fun parties of the season.

About 150 people, games, live music and great company. Such fun!

We left for 3 days at the beach the next day. Our accommodations were not the best. Off the beach, difficult beach access, misquoted prices on the rooms, all added up to some trouble.

Still, in spite of the difficulties, it was a fantastic time! There is something magical about the beach and the ocean.

I think I could sit and watch and listen to the ocean forever!

We ate in a small, Italian bed and breakfast for the first dinner. They cooked for only us. Authentic Italian food, served over 2 and half hours, on the patio with bats flying over head. You would think this would be disconcerting but it wasn't...just part of the magic!

It is satisfying to experience different cultures.

Daniel and Lily, his girl friend, have been here for a week. It is great fun and we love having them! And they wear me out. I guess I am not young anymore! It is all so worth it though.

We took Daniel into town this morning to experience our lives here. We ate breakfast, ran errands, did banking and visited with numerous friends.

Small town life suites me.
