Your "cold" is my "mild weather getaway"

Eren bundles up to walk the dog. It's nearly 50 degrees. (in her defense, the temp dropped to near 40, and it did actually snow a little during our walk

I could spend hours inspecting the desert flora that tenaciously thrives just in a given front yard.

free lunch Lucy

our kind of puzzling free lunch after strangely unfulfilling snorkel excursion. we were the only people on our boat of 8 who claimed (legitimately) to have paid for the free grilled fish lunch. So we were dropped off at this beachside joint with one of the boat crew members, who cooked a fish for us. He said: "it's going to be about half an hour." In the meantime, we watched people wade out to a nearby water pen that contained a glum 7-foot Nurse shark. it was equal parts sad & puzzling. afterwards the boat came back and returned us to the dock, about 200 yards down the beach. Very strange, but not unpleasant.

aloe, fishy!
