hello the states

Hey everybody!

Sorry its been so long since I have published.  Technical difficulties with a slideshow I put together for y'all's enjoyment has stalled the Lone Sombrero.  Will work on it this weekend.

What's been new?

I and the other volunteers took a little break in San Pedro this weekend; its a tourist hotspot with gorgeous blue water and all the gift shops you could ever want!  The best highlight,  snorkeling over a coral reef.  The variety of fish and marine plants was amazing!  I think God must have scattered a rainbow underneath the waves for us to find.  The sting-rays were scary though, they look quite alien as they flit about on the ocean bottom, fins undulating rhythmically. 



The nurse sharks were also a little intimidating, but quite harmless.

Other than that, we went and danced to some live music at a seaside bar, which was a blast!  The Eric Clapton cover left some things to be desired, but overall the music was great.  We also took a swim off a pier as an orange moon rose over the water. 
This all raises a bit of problem.  Who's going to think I'm on a mission trip if all the pictures we take (And we take most of them on these getaways)  show us dancing in bars,  swimming in aquamarine water, and relaxing on fine white sand?  This is a bit of a difficulty : )


Anyway,  Happy Thanksgiving, I love and miss you all
