We’re slowing down to the Caribbean speed limit. We are still trying to get internet into our apartment, with no luck. We were told 4 weeks ago it would take 2-3 weeks and we’ve heard nothing. We don’t get any responses from their email help system. sigh It’s very very annoying to have to go over to the golf club to get some wifi. Not sure how much longer I can remain sane without my daily internet dose!

We’ve been snorkeling all over the island. The one fish we’ve really missed is the Queen Triggerfish. It’s a beautiful looking fish, and I really miss seeing it. Going to have to go to Aruba for a weekend to see if they are still over there. Pretty sure it’s not much of a food fish, so maybe the lionfish has decimated the population. Pam reminded me if the program we used to use called Land and Sea picture fix, and it does amazingly quick fixes for our undersea pictures. Here is an example with a turtle out in Westpunt at Playa Grandi.

Our renovations are moving along quite nicely. The outside patio has been re-tiled, and they will be moving the doors on Monday, so that will be great. There will be a little re-tiling inside, and some painting to do as well. The picture here is a couple of days old – I didn’t bring the right camera to get the most current images, but I’ll post one in a couple days. The electrician has moved lights, and switches and installed a ceiling fan, so that work is almost all done as well. We might have the workmen gone by next weekend. That might be too optimistic, but hey, optimism is easy in the sunshine.

Our “stuff” including the car, has been delayed several times, and the new date for delivery is September 10. We’re hoping the renovations will be done by then!
