The last few days have been both relaxing and enjoyable. We are at the beach and in the swimming pool everyday, which keeps them busy and wears them out. The WIFI is good at our condo rental so I have been able to catch up on a few work related issues. I am still not [...]

We woke up pretty early on Saturday, and decided to try the local church. It was a 100% spanish speaking so that was a little tough on myself and the kids, but it was a nice environment and a lot of nice people. After that we decided to head over to weekend Grecia’s feria (farmer’s [...]
