Weekend

I only have a minute or two as I'm just waiting for Dave to pick me up from work - yes, at 8pm.. long, busy twelve hour day. We went to Philadelphia this weekend for my brother's wedding, so not a whole lot of Island-time. But, saturday morning, we went to Magen's Bay before our flight. This was the first time the ticket booth guy was there. You're supposed to pay $1 per local ($3 per tourist) and $1 per car to go to the beach there, but the person is only there during business hours basically - maybe 8am to 5pm? Just to get the tourists really... So as we pulled up, we stopped to pay, and the guy says "oh, go on. I'm still eating breakfast." Gotta love the island-mentality. I saw a sea turtle while we were swimming! Also saw a water aerobics class going on. Guess the bay is really the community pool too.

Being in a big city was a little weird after being on a small 4 miles by 13 miles island for the past 5 weeks. So much land! So many buildings... We did alright driving on the right hand side of the road again. Or Dave did. He did all the driving. It was good to see everyone. Apparently we're not quite tan enough yet though. Not much else going on right now!
