Grenada!

We are still in Grenada and will probably remain here the rest of the month. Kari arrives Tuesday and Alex comes on Sunday. After that we'll get the boat pulled and have her scraped and painted. The repairs have been pretty continuous, the sea and weather are unrelenting. I realize it's not the Karmela B, it's all boats. Attention and repairs are constant to keep boats happy and functional; just money, after all. Go figure.

Mary and Steve and then Claire visited and it was wonderful seeing our friends.  Now they can visualize the life we're living and that's nice for us and them. We really don't do a lot. There's a great deal of staring involved-at the sky, the sea, the birds, whatever. It's amazing that we're not bored, but we don't seem to be. Roger and I still manage to find things to talk about and last night the evening activity was to read out loud to each other.

Grenada is a friendly country. The people make us feel at home, welcomed. Instead of asking at restaurants "what can I get for you?" they ask "are you okay?" Nice. The country is clean and middle class, or seems so from the outside looking in. I'm going to try to take a cooking class if I can find one. We also have a tour scheduled of the medical school on Wednesday. Roger wouldn't mind being on the adjunct faculty.
