All better

So we're all better... Paul, the weather, and I.... I did have a chance to take a couple photos of the torrential rains before they calmed down a bit... it's nice to see the ocean ocean-color again! so we are back to our daily surfing/reading/drawing/interneting routine...

We have made new friends, with the local cat, who whined every day in the kitchen of the hotel until finally he cracked everyone and got milk and food. So now he's become the hotel cat and has his assigned bowl, and sleeps on the chair on our balcony... I guess we feel familiar since we've been there so long. The other night he fiercely protected us (and especially his kitchen territory) against a healthy-looking racoon (raton laveur)... the racoon was easily 1 and 1/2 times the size of the cat but he hardly put up a fight...

In other news, we got our mosquitoe-repellent coil stolen the other night from our lanai... probably some hotel guest who was too lazy to go to the store himself.... our grungy rash guards were hanging outside to dry that same night, but somehow, the coil seemed more valuable.... (OK people, you paid for a trip all the way here, I'm sure you can afford the mosquitoe repellent)
