Dad and Josh watched the sun rise together today. Here are a few of their pictures. They noted that the sun rises quite quickly here. I don't know how one would explain that.

We've been woken the last few nights/mornings by random dogs barking. Josh saw one of them this morning. He was running up and down the loop that goes near the house. Josh described him as acting like Paul Revere, giving the alert to the other neighborhood dogs.

Nearly all the females here wear bikinis at the beach, regardless of age or weight. It's somewhat emboldening. Perhaps I will buy one before the summer is over. Clearly no one here cares what I look like. I seem to own the only tankini. Josh observed that being overweight carries many health risks: "getting cholesterol, getting diabetes, getting harpooned..." Josh is always good for comic relief during the day. Alex has been periodically very sad today, in anticipation of dad leaving tomorrow. He really knows how to tug at a mom's heartstrings.
