Had yummy pancakes and bacon and COFFEE for breakfast. I went a la playa esta tardes por una hora y swam (nacer?) Then came back and drank a grape soda. THen just came back. So almost home. Oh, and traveling while PMSing/MSing do not mix. Patience was short at the airport. [Leaving out some ...

Getting around has been an intricate system of connections. Some people know who I am before I get there because of staying with the Grand Fond families. That village was remote ...

... about 15 minutes before he was to meet up with us....So we then needed to find a cab driver that would accomodate our schedule. Fortunately for us, we ran into the port "Pit Boss" (my nickname:-)) Job. He was a great guy, who was obviously well respected by all of the cab drivers in the area.

... C'est un couple très sympathique de Tampa. Ils nous conseillent de faire une réservation pour tous les soirs afin d'éviter cette attente ridicule à tous les soirs. C'est ce qu'ils ont fait et ça semble fonctionner. Comme ils sont gentils et que notre serveur semble compétent et courtois, on décide donc de faire une réservation pour cette table pour tous les soirs à 20h.
