We are having a great time here. The weather is great even when raining and windy like it was up at a cool windsurfing spot. Nathan loves snorkelling in the pool. We haven’t sold him on the saltwater yet. He says it tastes discusting. Marina loves the pool and hot tub. At the beach she enjoys covering her entire body in sand. She is a firm believer in a physical sunblock. Jon and I have been enjoying snorkeling. We have seen lots of fish. I had better go. Gotta get back to the beach.

Hey All:
It proved to be a most fruitful week with visits to as many of you as we could reach, culminating with the party at Dan and Kelli’s on Saturday. Want to thank them for hosting the event, which I’m sure is a major undertaking this time of year. Their house is just down the hill from where Sandy and Susie’s Mom, Evelyn grew up.learned that Andrew is quite proficient on the guitar. Dan and Kelli have been very creative with the interior of their home and it inspired us to get some paint that isn’t white. Missed those that didn’t make it, but maybe next year.
