We are in paradise, all but the tropical weather and clear blue water. The San Juans are gorgeous and the weather has been exceptional. We’re all a little sunburned but nobody’s complaining. We’ve decided to stay an extra day, the yurt (or tent cabin as they call it here) is available another night so we couldn’t pass up the chance. It’s a long way to come for a couple of days.
The boys are in heaven, there are 9 kids in our little group and even with ours being the youngest by a couple of years, they are holding their own and playing well with the big kids. We’ve spent a LOT of time on the boat and exploring the surrounding islands. We’ve been fishing off the pier (yes, mom, the boys have had life jackets on the WHOLE time) and Carlos caught his very first fish. It was just he and I out on the dock and he looked at me, smiled and said “I’m a REAL fisherman now!” He was very proud of his 3 inch long catch, I think it could have been half the size and he’d have been equally happy.
We also went hiking at Mt. Constitution and saw a couple of waterfalls that the boys were amazed with. Not sure the plans for today…we may be back on the boat, may do some geocaching (www.geocaching.com) or just hang out. We have no phone sevice up here (it’s Canadian, eh?) but I jumped on the community computer in the office to check in with the world.
Tuesday is back to reality….not sure we’re ready for that! We will have lots of pictures to share, though!
