Friday

Friday evening and it feels like this has been our whole life together: swimming, lying in the shade of a palapa, reading.

I've (almost) read two books in our three days here. It feels like one of those never-ending summers from my youth. This morning we were noting our amazement that it's still only June! There's so much more ahead of us...

The beach here is perfect -- water ranging from just-warm-enough to almost-too-warm over a day's time. In the morning the water is glassy, with the occasional slow, long, wave. As the day goes on the water becomes choppier, and wavier. There's nothing threatening about the waves. You can turn your back on them and the worse you'll experience is a small dunking, and a little salt water in your nose. But they're big enough to jump over and play in, which I've been doing for an hour at a stretch.

Some folks love the beach for an hour or two, but if Eric and I have a comfy place to sit (no towels on the sand for us at this stage of the game) and a bit of shade, we love the beach all day long.

Now we're back in our room and showered, resting before heading out to dinner. What a life!
