La Paix

Alright, tonight's blog is going to be short. I am exhausted! Boat cleaning day was a success, but  I feel like I just did 7 hours of exercising. But it was very nice coming home to a new awesome Element shirt Danny bought me at work. And some locally made rice and beans. I added some tofu and spicy salsa to have an amazing dinner. Wasn't Danny's style, so he made some meatballs and pasta. So, now we are fat and tired, and not going to do anything the rest of the night.

Oh yeah, we also just watched the space station go over St. Thomas :)

We are back to being contributing members of society! Danny was hired yesterday (and started today) at the first place he applied and the place he wanted to work at the most. To nobody's surprise, he is working at the local skate shop. It's right in Red Hook, so a five minute walk down the mountain from our house. (The walk home is a different story). And I'm first mate on a sailboat that makes daily snorkel trips. The boat was getting some yearly maintenance done, so it's been out of water. I actually helped paint the bottom a few days ago. The boat is going into the water today, tomorrow we are cleaning her up and on Sunday we are taking her out for a fun sail.

This is before we painted

No sunrise this morning, just sun showers...

Aim for the moon. If you miss, you may hit a star.

Tomorrow is the actual full moon, but we couldn't resist taking pictures from our apartment of tonight's moon rising...
