Sea Glasses

There is a stretch of beach down the hill by my house that consists of nothing but broken, worn down, sea glass. I guess lots of women like it, and use it in jewelry and stuff. I find it interesting to think how some of these bottles may have come from pirate booze bottles. I was hoping I was sitting on some sort of treasure, but come to find out even rare colors of sea glass are cheap to purchase. I guess I wont be spending too much time collecting it until I figure out something to do with it myself.

Jeanann is spending a ton of time studying, but I figure if she's willing and motivated to spend that much time studying I won't stop her. The daily routine has been sinking in, which is good for the kids. The seem to be doing much better than the first 2 weeks or so. Hopefully in time they'll feel completely at home. Bradyn has made new friends at school, and Brylee gets to be in Bradyns class until next August.

We found a beach on Sunday that is awesome. It's on the atlantic side, which means there're waves and currents. This little portion though is protected by rocks and reef and is super calm. The kids had a blast wading in it. It's really clear, and look forward to snorkeling once I get confident in my swimming abilities. We even had a little fish swim by us when we were in the shallows on the beach. It was pretty cool, and a nice change of beach scenery after spending a few days walking garbage strewn glassy beaches.

School for me is going well. Turns out most of the people in my class are pharmacists and working professionals. I'm trying to keep up with class. I find the economic lessons are easy to understand since I've spent the last two years studying them. The other pharmacy related presentations from other classmates are a bit of another language. I figure I'll give it a good shot, and worst case scenario I can fall back on an MBA or Masters of Biz Administration.

We're doing fine, although our picture camera broke. Don't hope too much for too many new pictures for a few weeks until we figure that one out. I think a new camera here is over $300 for even a cheaper one. Most of that is probably due to taxes. They have no income tax, but they tax the hell out of everything else, unless of course you're a tourist. Screw the local people, and give the tourists a break. That's a strategy that can be debated, but I find it annoying. Maybe I can find a tourist shop with digital cameras, but that seems unlikely. If I could take pictures with rum bottles I'd be in business.

Till next time.
