Not so much fun…

I miss my sweetie.

There was some fog late yesterday afternoon, giving things a damp feel.

It did make for a different sunset.

 

Colin is having a marvellous time in Culiacan and of course getting less than 5 hours of sleep per night.  Last night he met Iona Gandrabur, born in Romania.  Born blind she started piano at age five and switched to classical guitar at twelve.  She immigrated to Canada at sixteen, has four music degrees and speaks six languages.

Colin sent me this photo, not sure if this is a class or a performance.

 

Here he is kibitzing with Iona and her guide dog. He also mentioned that another great artist has given us an open invitation to come stay with him in Costa Rica whenever and for however long! I think we have an invitation to Cuba and Brazil from last year. Who knows, that may become a part of our future......

 

I am really happy for Colin to have this marvellous experience but I am having very little me time.  Yes Larry I did have the vino but then was up all night with the oldest Carmeh, vomiting & diarrhea.  Caeli who was doing better started again with the diarrhea.  Thankfully no blood showing for either.  So today has been a day of chicken, rice and antibiotics.  It is so hard cutting them back on food when they spend the entire day looking at me with their big brown eyes just begging for one more piece of food.

This has been our day on the Isla......very foggy. I am doing fine so don't worry about me. Actually going to try and give the girls a wee walk just now.

    Oh, my goodness. Here I am away from the computer for 6 days and the girls are so sick. I sure hope they are feeling better soon. Kind of wonder if it was the crab since Carmeh is now sick as well. Poor babies!
