Wow – I didn’t realize how long it has been since we’ve posted on the blog. I got a reminder from GoDaddy, our hosting service, that they automatically renewed our hosting and realized, oh right! We have a blog! We’ve been doing not much of anything really. Just being retired. We’ve been in the ocean … Continue reading Long time coming!→

But it was so jammed we headed to a new beach called Playa Forti. We’ve eaten in the restaurant overlooking the bay, … Continue reading Playa Forti and a seahorse!→
