HAPPY AT CAPE SAN BLAS

We have been here for a few days and I am happy to report two items of interest: 1) the condos where we are staying now have Wi-Fi, and 2) I didn’t forget anything on this trip!

We didn’t find out right away that we could get on the internet because we never have before and I didn’t see it advertised anywhere. But know that we know, I will be writing a little more.

We are having a blast, sunning on what beach is left here at the Cape, and eating fabulous seafood meals. The beach situation, particularly here at our condos has become critical with the erosion from the Gulf. They are trying to fix the situation even as I write by dredging sand from the bottom of the ocean floor and depositing it on the beaches, but I’m not sure they are going to be in time to save these particular condos. Since we have been here both sets of steps down to the sand have sunk and pulled away from the wall and are now unusable. The water at high tide comes halfway up the wall upon which the apartments are built. So far we haven’t fallen in, but we most certainly will unless something is done soon. We can see the beach repair going on from here but they are moving too slowly to suit me. I’ll definitely have to keep in touch with the rental people before leasing a place for November.

And the other big news is that Ashley, Mike, and two of their children (Bailey and Danny) have been through an earthquake. They were in California, house sitting for Mike’s father when the quake we have all been reading about hit. She called to reassure us that they were fine, but it was an interesting experience to say the least!

It’s about time to go bake a little while on the beach, so I’ll close. I’ll keep you posted as to our situation here.
