Vacation 2010- part 1

After living in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba for the last seven months, I can honestly say that I am truly enjoying this vacation.  I wasn't sure how much I was going to have staying at a beach house since where I live I'm practically at a beach house everyday, but this is different.  We have a different family dynamics here with aunts and uncles and cousins and grandparents and kids from 3 to 70+.  It has been amazing.  Fantastic week for everyone.  I can't wait to share pictures as soon as I get home because I forgot my camera cord so I can't download on the go.

Virginia Beach, at least the Sandbridge area, is really beautiful and not over crowded at all.  We've been exercising on the beach, going for long walks, battling the waves and sometimes just hanging out and visiting or playing games.  This is one time I wish we were staying longer so we could do more of the same but as the end draws near I know we have to get psyched up to go back or no, to go forward and resume our life in Cuba.  We do enjoy everything about where we live and we love the people and great friends we've made and thank goodness because that would make not having a Target close by dreadful..ugh!

I will be back to share pictures next week.  For now I will do my best to enjoy the last few days with family and friends.

Yes, Life Is Good! But only if you allow it to be!

Outdoor Wednesday: a Cuban Iguana

I have been away from my blog(s) and all the fun networking we do around here far too long. I miss all of this and all the sharing. So I come back now with my first outdoor picture in a while during this, the last Wednesday of the year.

I could have chosen one of the many beach, rocks, seaglass, mountains, or cloud pictures but I kept coming back to this Iguana because I'm still in awe that they live or that we live among them. They do keep to themselves and in my neighborhood we don't see them often but we do see them at the beach (only if we break out the food) and we see them around the base and in other housing areas. We see them as often as people in the states see dogs and their masters walking around...really weird.

I hope to find the time of day when my internet connectivity is has a higher bandwidth than during the day time hours (maybe I need to go back to my early morning blogging) so that I can visit all others in my network and hopefully meet some new people (bloggers).

Please visit Susan at A Southern Daydreamer to see what other outdoors people are sharing today.

Have a beautiful day everyone and thanks for visiting!
