One year ago today, Elaine and I arrived in Dominica. Sigh.

Did you read it? I don’t trust you. I’ll give the […]

Smelting. Smelting is what they do to metal ore to separate out the pure metals. Smelting brings out the core ore, so to speak. And airplanes seem to bring out the core person…which isn’t always a pretty thing.
On our way home from Dominica, E and I flew Delta cross country. We began early (6:15 am) […]

Writing takes time. It’s a commodity I don’t have much of in this phase of life. So, while I should be in bed getting a good night’s sleep for tomorrow, I’m sitting here blogging. I need to dump some of these things out of my brain.
Of course, that isn’t what I WANT to do. […]

Today, our last full day, has been good. We drove down and snorkeled at Scott’s Head on the southern tip of the island, then rented a two person sea kayak and paddled up to Champagne Reef. We both saw sea tortoises at Scott’s Head. The area on the south part of the island was really […]

I haven’t had a good climb like that since before Talli was born. Beautiful (yet different) rain forest again; we saw a parrot close up, and it […]

Good exercise today, time to read, beautiful, happy, and great food. The day flew by. Last night was the first night I didn’t sleep like a log. I was awake for quite awhile, but that was ok. Prayed some and just rested. I think my body is finally catching up on sleep.
We set an alarm […]

Crescent Moon is going to be exotic. We’re the only guests here. Like E said, it’s great being in two so different places. This is rain forest; it dumped on us earlier. We sat on the porch, me swaying in the hammock, and loving it. It’s also really nice being hosted by Americans, just for […]

Just an outstanding day; this is the vacation of a lifetime!
I got up about 8:30, fully refreshed. We got all ready for the day, expecting the rental car by 9:30 or 10. At 10, I called; “It’s already on the way!” We read and waited, a little tense, but still relaxing. He arrived about 11 […]
