Gerri's Birthday

Today was Gerri's birthday. I felt really bad being away but it turned out really well for her. The good people she works with knew I was away so they bought her a dozen roses. Later in the day they took her out to lunch and then had a cake for her. Frankly, that's a lot mot celebrating than we usually do. She had a great day.

Tonight we had another beach party and dinner. Since the wind was down, they provided a bunch of torches on the beach as well as against the hillside again. It looks a lot like a survivor set. Later the had the Garifuna dancers again this time actually performing on the beach.

On my way back from the beach the power went off again but luckily I now carry a flashlight with me at all times. I was able to make it back to my room and the generator was turned on in about 10 minutes. I was able to have a remote toast with Gerri to help her celebrate her birthday. Not as good as the real thing but we thought it was fun.

I hooked up my web cam today and tried it out. Gerri was able to see my place for the first time. I'll try to get some pictures to post on this blog.

Gerri purchased her tickets to come down for a visit on May 5th. We are both excited and look forward to seeing each other and seeing the sites together.
