Picture Time

A big happy sigh - aaahhhh-- for those of you beginning your Spring Break this weekend. A big moan --aawww-- for those of you ending yours. They just aren't ever long enough. Here's an idea -- try a sabattical in a tropical country. It's like one, long Spring Break that lasts a whole semester!!!

Fortunately the breeze has returned and temperatures are much more reasonable. The past 2 days have been sweltering. I even turned on my AC briefly last night to cool things down in my apartment. The fans weren't getting the job done.

This is a link http://ambergrisdaily.com/ambergris-caye-stories/a-far-cry-from-paradise/ to a really good article that came out this week about the community of San Mateo and their partnership with Ole Miss. A group of Ole Miss students and their professor, my friend Kim, arrive today. They will be at Holy Cross all week.

I haven't had many pictures to post recently, so I will catch up here today. No rhyme or reason to the choices...

The sea has been really rough this week, so quite a bit of seaweed was washed ashore. The local folks rake it up and use it as mulch.

This fishing boat was probably hand-carved. It is very narrow -- I'm not sure I would fit in it. Because the boat sits so low in the water, sometimes the fishermen fished by hand, just reaching into the water and grabbing a fish.

Making more solid land at Holy Cross -- sand/dirt will go over the cut branches

Have a great weekend.
