Finally, a release from weather concerns! While only a few days, these events turn into what I consider "hospital time" where all indications of an hour having sixty minutes and a day 24 hours disappears into something meaningless on a measurable scale.
Of course, our visitor list on island has been minimal and since the cart is cabled and storm ready or not, along with everything else in my world - more or less - it seems a fine time to take advantage of a chance to go on a brief island hopping trip, seeing some old friends and putting Culebra in my rear view mirror for awhile. Nothing like creating the set-up for 'It will be great to get home!' syndrome, which only takes me a very short time. Leaving by boat, it takes a week or so, by plane, I start missing home before I've left our air space. A good thing.
The sun is back!

The first Peter Pepper Pops!
(you'll understand the name more as it grows -
of course it was my brother who sent the seeds!)

Aji cabelleros - Puerto Rican peppers, fourth or fifth go round

Mint (yes A & K, help yourself for mojitos!)

If we actually leave tomorrow, I'll be back in a week or so with photos, unless I can't stand it and post mid-holiday...but don't count on it! If we're delayed...you'll know it first!
