Breaking news this evening: We got an e-mail from Camille and her job at Starbucks is safe. Everyone is real happy for her. She is ready to come to Mexico and have a good time in a couple more weeks.

Note: We are still getting to know our new camera, and the images that we took are to big to upload. I have readjusted the camera to a lower resolution now. Hopefully we will get photos in on the next entry.

Warren

2-5-2009
Well, Paradise isn’t so great today. The boys (Sean and Robb) are both under the weather. Sean took a header down our stairs yesterday after jumping out of the pool and drying off quickly, then bounding down the stairs to go with Warren to the beach. All in all he was lucky, considering he fell down a full flight of cement stairs. He caught himself with his right arm and dislocated his shoulder – it went right back in, but his ligaments are all very strained and he’s in quite a bit of pain. Luckily, with Heather and Robb here, he was well taken care of. (Robb is a surgical tech and Heather is an RN.) Nothing much keeps him down – he and Ellie just left for town this morning, not wanting to miss out on any fun.
To top it off, Heather knocked on our door about 2:30 a.m. this morning; Robb was achey with a fever and diarrhea. Since we always have drugs with us down here for that, he is a bit better this morning but still sleeping and will be out of it for awhile. There’s not much you can do to avoid that down here – it happens. But with some good drugs he’ll be back at it in a day or so.
It’s been pretty HOT here the last few days. Warren and I went to town yesterday morning, but I faded pretty fast and caught a taxi home. Sitting in the pool or on the beach under a palapa works best! The humidity was up a bit the last few days, too, so life is pretty slow. The kids all went to town to watch people arrive off the cruise ship that was in yesterday – great fun, I guess! They had breakfast and did some great people watching and had a wonderful time. . . . . . until they came home and Sean took his header.
Warren, Ellie, and Sean are still planning a fishing trip tomorrow. Don’t know how Sean is going to handle a fishing pole, but he’s bound and determined. Maybe we can convince him to catch some tuna at the Mercado instead. Heather and I have a day of shopping planned – we’ll see how Robb is doing by then.
Today will be full of swimming and reading, hanging out by the pool, and making a paella for dinner. That’s enough for one day!
