It has been a while since we have shared anything but it’s not because we are becoming lazy. Darlene and I have been working night and day and have had very few chances for any adventures (even small ones) lately. Luckily things should calm down in the next couple weeks and the second they do we are going to go for our first dive. I managed to sneak out today for an hour of snorkeling today and the entire time I kept thinking about how great it would be going even deeper. The sun was nice and bright today and it lit up the reef and the deep blue ocean in the distance perfectly. I will never grow tired of this ocean, it is impossible not to be overwhelmed by its beauty every time you see it or swim in it.

Plus, it’s whale season and, although so far I have only seen their giant water spouts and the occasional splash from a tail, I’m looking forward to many great sightings right off the beach. Darlene has been lucky enough to see many whales breaching while at her job that overlooks the ocean.

A little over a week ago some friends from San Fransisco were here for visit and they stayed just up the road. We joined them for dinner at the house they rented with a few other couples and had a great time.

Winter clouds are creating some amazing sunsets lately so get used to seeing pictures of them!

Gross, look at this crap!

Yuck.

Sickening.
