happy 2010 everyone. hope your new years eve was happy and everyone was safe. we had a little get together at the end of our dock and had a nice time with fireworks and the whole schmere. had a good time and was home by 10:30. time has a different meaning here. we went into town and walked about 5 or 6 miles all over the downtown area and out towards the big box stores. we are doing a lot of walking and it is really helping the lax muscles we have developed over the last 5 years of setting around the house. it feels really good. town here is much different than up in the states and you must watch your footing very carefully, but it is interesting and very colorful. the street vendors are everywhere and bug you to buy their wares, but are not too obnoxious about it. the restaurants are inexpensive and the food is awesome.

As soon as Dan has the SSB radio all hooked up, i think we will be heading south. we are getting anxious to get along with our voyage. it is so beautiful here, it is hard to leave, but time moves on and so should we. the dogs are doing well and we take them down to the beach for a run and a swim. its amazing that they like to swim here, but hated it at home. maybe the water temperature has something to do with that, but they love the water now.

Not much else to report. hope you like some of the pictures i have posted. oh yeah, itś the first of january and i am wearing a tank top and shorts. the weather is absolutely gorgeous and about 70 degrees, not a cloud in the sky and itś suppose to be like this for a least another week. love to all hugs
