This morning was a walking morning at about 5:30, and the sun was just coming up, as I walked along the beach and then along the path in front of the beach houses. I ran into my friend Bob who was clearing out the shrub and old palm branches on the beach; we chatted about his orchids - one of which is the same as the one I brought back from my dad's tree in Florida. It bloomed for three years, but then just fizzled out; Bob showed me where I could find more of them and said he would snip a little segment for me so that I can try them down here where the climate is probably kinder and gentler for orchids. The walk up to the inlet was peaceful, the tide out so far that the water was still, reflecting the sunrise as though it were a mirror.
Nani and I just hung around all day after hanging out the laundry and discovering that the hot water heater had blown up in my laundry room. I mopped and tried to dry it all up, turned off the hot water and learned that fixing the damn thing would cost about $300. Ah, life in CR...
