The waves have been amazing here…I even tried to “ride” the waves with the help of Jerry, but this proved to be unsuccessful…I am just too afraid of the deeper water…so I just jump the waves…this is the first time I have even attempted to go into the water, so this is quite a feat for me…Joanne and Jerry love the water so they have spent lots of time there…the sun is hot and we have been using our 30+ sunscreen which has kept us from burning…Joanne loves the sun so we have spent lots of time there…there is always a warm breeze blowing which makes it really comfortable.

We have had lots of fun, Dwight, Joanne, Jerry and I, playing games and laughing lots…I think the people around us must think we are crazy as we get louder as the game progresses…always lots of jokes…we have also enjoyed eating…have tried different restaurants, which has been nice…we also have a full kitchen in our place so Dwight has baked chocolate chip cookies; Jerry has purchased lots of ice cream; Joanne has her pringle chips; and I just eat everything!

We are now at the Embassy REsort another awesome location as we sit on our patio we can see the ocean with palm trees along the way. We have a red cardinal, male and female, come and sit on our tree right outside our patio. We have seen other birds as well.

We went to one of the small villages the other evening and saw many works of the local artists…beautiful paintings of every kind; photography; woodturning; wood furniture; silk marbling…all done by local artists…many of the artists were there and we were able to talk with them…also snacks were served at every location which was great for the guys!!!

We have seen giant turtles…Jerry and Joanne saw lots of beautiful coloured fish this morning…but no whales. We have walked lots along the ocean and enjoyed the waves and the breeze. Joanne and I walked for 2 hours this morning. It was wonderful.

Jerry’s foot was not good for the first couple of days…but was better today and he tried walking in his runners. We have not been able to do any hikes yet, but hope to do some shorter ones in the next few days.

We still have lots to do. I have been reading a books given to me by Matt…Song or Arbonne…have been enjoying it…have also read lots of magazines…but most of all just enjoying God’s creation and the company of family. Our time together has been wonderful to this point…no major catastrophes…just good laughter…good food…good company…great holiday time together.

Even though this is the United States of America it is difficult to find internet available for the public…this is costing me $5.00 to send so hopefully someone will read it.

We do miss family and friends and wish many of you were here with us. This is an amazing paradise and there is no doubt that it is a privilege for us to be able to enjoy it the way we are.
