Week 4 Wrap Up: There's the Ocean
Today's entree du jour for exercising was dragging the two children straight up the side of a mountain. The payout was a view which we had just seen by driving up the side of the same mountain and walking unstrenuously for 5 minutes. The hiking was more fun. And sweatier.
This house is marker-less and construction paper-less. E.'s production has thankfully ground to a halt. And no preschool this week. Unfortunately I did not remember to inform the preschool that E. was going to be missing his 3 days this coming week. I'm sure I'll be suitably chastised when we return.
The trip here was long and bad. One of our flights was delayed and following a late arrival we had issues with the rental car. Oh, and we left the stroller on the luggage carousel. I managed to repeat to myself a million times
It will all be worth it when we get there. I wasn't wrong.
Stacey and Lisa win the prize for power shopping on Black Friday. You go, girls! (Can't pull that off even in the Caribbean, can I? Is You Go, GirlZ! any better?) I bought European cookies last night. They are not a gift—I am eating them myself.
BTW, I nailed the house we rented. I love it. Location is perfect, less than 5 minutes driving from the beach. There are hundreds of tiny ants at any given moment crawling everywhere, including on the beds. There is no reason to disturb them, as there are thousands more outside waiting for the go ahead to enter. The view is killer, the swimming pool is cold (but E. doesn't mind), one of the toilets is hard to flush, all of the faucets drip constantly, the air conditioners are
too cold no matter what we set them to (we've turned them off mostly), and I am using a beach towel as an extra blanket. There is plenty of toilet paper. There is no outside shower, but the inside ones pretty much make up for it. It is indeed divine.
