... to your cuban friend about eating alot of papaya.

I have planned out the next 3 months of my life( you think I'm exagerating, but I'm not). Basically it's non-stop bussing around on the weekends to some of the crazy destinations in Nica, but I'll give more details once I have actually been there.

As far as personal life in the house goes, its pretty relaxing. On my run this morning, I saw an eight year ...

We did some brief shopping today (Spice Islands). Ready to head sail to Bonaire (near South America) for tonight and tomorrow.

Just before that exact moment, the head cook made some flour dumplings and threw them (literally) on the top stew in the pot. When the oil down was done, the pot was transferred to a bench for serving. It was so tasty and a wonderful experience. Since last summer, we are grandparents.
