Another thing I did last night was learn how to row in a two person rowboat with sliding seats. Very fun. Hamstrings felt it this morning.
There's a lot of kite-surfing out here, and it looks like a blast. It's like windsurfing but you don't hold onto a frame--you're harnessed to a strong, way up there kite that you can control with your harness. those guys were really moving along! Fun.
Wouldn't want to live here, and am trying to talk Nanci into a visit up north (I'd visit but she's too far away from here)-but it's sure fun to be in someplace so completely different for a week. The colors, the smells, the horizons, all so different.
"My predominant feeling is one of gratitude. I have loved and been loved;I have been given much and I have given something in return...Above all, I have been a sentient being, a thinking animal, on this beautiful planet, and that in itself has been an enormous privilege and an adventure." O. Sacks
