It's a great big beautiful world, Culebra!


Clouds and sun vied yesterday, teasing rain that never showed up on land, and keeping the weather cool and breezy yesterday. I can live with that. Really well. 

Clouds and sun
Planted beauty gone wild and beautiful. Thinking of you, Filippo!
You might get tired of seeing Sail Rock. I never do.


These flowers literally slapped me in the face.  Everyone's a star....

Another very nice thing  going on yesterday, well, obviously going on for awhile now, is the road repair happening on the way to Playa Soni/Zoni (choose your spelling, I prefer Zoni, even though it's most likely wrong!). I don't know about you, but that spot where the road was broken off scared the crap out of me. I'm on the passenger side 98% of the time I make that trip and it never feels good to go over that area.  There's a reason for that, beyond plain common sense.

When I was very, very young, my family lived in New Mexico for a brief time. I  have an extemely vivid memory of a holiday, driving up in the mountains, on narrow roads with big drop offs. At one point, the door to the vehicle flew open and my sister was half falling out, her foot dragging on the road (pre-seat belts, four little kids, not entirely latched door - or, knowing my sister, she might have decided to step out for a minute) while my father slowed and stopped. I knew then, at 4 years old, I never wanted to be a doctor. It's one of those memories that doesn't come around much, until you are confronted with what feels like a similar situation. Like that spot on the road to Zoni. Well, guess what, memory banks? You can shut that one back up in the vault very soon now!!






Have a tremendous Tuesday! Do something thankfully.
