Our beach and our hotel.
Dear Adam,
Doesn’t the word peripatetic come from Aristotle’s practice of teaching and walking? Not driving and teaching? Peter and I walked up and down the beach and I walk to the bar for Diane’s alcoholess frozen umbrella drinks, but that’s about the extent of my wanderings, with the exception of last night’s drive across the island to a highly recommended fish restaurant with tables on the beach. There wasn’t much to photograph because it was dark and the darn place was closed.
The young me loved renting cars which would enable the exploring of every nook and cranny, but the old me chafes behind the wheel. That doesn’t mean we won’t get back in our car and find new sights – after all, last night’s sojourn discovered Iron Man’s playing times at a not-too-local theatre.
I know what you’re thinking. Who is this guy? But, you know of late we haven’t been as active on our Maine camping trips, and this place is not unlike having a tent facing a pristine body of water. The difference is my waiters smile when they bring me my smallest heart’s desire.
Your beach bum in training,
Michael

Hi Michael,
Let’s see if this comment will travel from Kythira to Aruba. Boy does it make me happy to see Diane–and Matt and Peter–under that umbrella!!!! Beautiful view of the Caribbean. I took many shots of the Aegean on Mark’s and my 3 hour hike on a mountain today. Maybe some swimming tomorrow. Wild waves and wind today, but enough sunshine to make it all promising.
Love to all,
Ginger and Mark–whoops, here he comes:
He says to tell you all Wish you were here but looks like you’re in a better place. Warmer for swimming, I think he means. He may insist on going south to Crete. I’m loving seeing this familiar island so different with all the spring colors. No complaints either way.
Hi Di,

Either there’s a pier we haven’t been shown, or someone took the D80 out in the water … ! How ambitious and ambulatory …
But if you do return Stateside, and if we do return to Maine this fall, I can tell we’re going to have to work on our tableside manners …

Now I think it’s two against one. A three hour hike? I thought you were on vacation, Ginger.

PS — Sun looks hot — and is that a cocumut Peter is drinking out of?
PPS – What Matt’s “score” at the casino?

I think he’s still up, but I’ll let you know for sure when he awakens which will probably be an hour or so before today’s 6 PM buy-in tournament.
