Hello everyone...funny to be sitting on this side of the blog.  Well, I arrived safe and sound on 8 Sep, one week ago today.  I was met at the airport by a screaming, jumping wild bunch mascarading as my family.  Quite an emotional reunion as you might imagine.  Since then, we have barely stopped moving - or at least the kids and I haven't.  Mylene has been taking full advantage to catch up on some much deserved down time, except when she is video taping our nonsense, in the water with us, running around with us, cooking, you get the picture. 

In the last 7 days, we have visited 7 beaches, the hotsprings twice (don't know how come only twice, we'll have to make that up), jumped off trampolines into the ocean, been on a boat cruise to a deserted island (St George) with a 200-year-old church on top, seen two spots with turtles that come up to the shore to be fed, drove over 1000 km on an island smaller than a postage stamp, and visited a museum with petrified trees where we had a personal guided tour by a masters student from Venzuella.

We went out of our way to go through some of the towns Mylene has described in previous editions of the blog - look for the shaky typing and search for fold-in-your mirrors.  Apparently if you stay on the main, paved road there was no need to go through those towns, but apparently there was a problem with the navigator prior to my arrival  ;)

Kudos to Mylene and Sophie, though, I came here and the kids were happy, the places were scouted out and the routes were laid (for the most part).

We are having a great time and are looking forward to the next 1.5 weeks.

Love,
The Beijers

Super Sweet
Hey guys! So happy for you that you're all together. Man that must have been one noisy greeting at the airport - in full Zalatan style!
Sounds like you're all having the time of your lives - as it should be.
All our love and support from Canada,

Ariane & Bart
