This morning when I got up and was doing my usual on lap top coconut phone aka msn messenger informed me that I had to download the new version or go without. I hate when they force it upon you – don’t they realize that downloading is not a simple 5 min task for some people or that some of us do not care if we have the latest and greatest version as long as what we already have makes sense and works fine? 4 hours later and I am finally resolved this issue – patience is a must if you want to live here or somewhere like it.

San Pedro never ceases to amaze me. I am always seeing fascinating new things – today it was the tide going in and out. You may be wondering what is so interesting about that? The view in my pictures below will show you – we all got to see this process on the road right outside our front doors. When I first noticed all the water on the road I thought no way I could have missed that much rain. These pics are taken over the span of 3 or 4 hours – was not totally keeping track.
