Hola de Guatemala

Not much to report lately. We are still here at Monkey Bay Marina on the Rio Ducle of Guatemala. 'We' indicates Calusa and I, John is back in Florida for the Gator football season. The river is beautiful but the weather is incredibly hot. I spend my days hiding out in the coolest spot I can find and studying. Currently I am studying for the USCG Master, Near Coastal License. What fun! I especially like interpreting running lights and learning fog horn signals (note the tone of sarcasm). Oh well, its something to do and I am excited about getting my license. I am also trying to learn Spanish, this is an endeavor that may take a few more years. I am now teaching a yoga class on MWF mornings. People from other marinas gather here at Monkey Bay Marina to join me. We are having fun and I have met some new friends. I even found some walking buddies, which is awesome b/c I was becoming a real home body. If you haven't yet, or haven't lately, seen my new website you can click here or click the link in the menu to the right. It is amazing how much time you can waste developing a website if you really try. I am soooo looking forward to Kaitlin and Chris coming on Sept 24th. I need more human interaction. We will trek around Guatemala a bit and should have something more interesting to post next time. Well, really I just wanted to say hi and let everyone know we are still afloat. Cheers, Robyn

PS Chim has an anniversary (#2) on the 23rd of this month. Happy anniversary!!
