...Puerto Rico still very much in our blood, especially with the great weather around here. No surprise- the vid's a little cheesy (quesodad?) This is Kevin Ceballo con Mi Primer Amor. LOVE his band!

Have a great weekend!!!

Seen...why did the chicken cross the road?

Why, to get to the beach, of course!

Seen...Puerto Rican Puddle Jumping

Final approach into San Juan International

Looking up...

The new Casa Solaris at Hix Island House in Vieques.

Big post on this amazing place to follow!

Hangin' Ten, Cobourg Style

A Saturday morning trip into downtown Cobourg today to visit the Farmers' Market was cool and blustery. After picking up a few things we fortified ourselves with a hot coffee and headed for the beach to have a look-see. It was very reminiscent of the North Sea...past visits to Scotland and Holland sprung immediately to mind. We could see the waves breaking into huge plumes of spray on the end of the wharf and we decided to hop into the car (for protection) and take a closer look.

Imagine our shock and delight to discover this intrepid band of about a dozen wet-suited dudes, oblivious to the cold wind, jumping off the far end of the pier with their surfboards! We were filled with questions...Do they belong to a club?... Or do they just put the call out when that surf's up?... Does this happen often in Cobourg?... Are they crazy??

Whatever the answers, we have to say it made our day!

Looking Up... at the Brooklyn Bridge

 We will be off for a week-end in N.Y.C. to catch a few of the sights along with the

Alexander McQueen show at the Metropolitan Museum.

It's been a while since we have been to "La Grosse Pomme"

and we are very much looking forward to it even though temps are to be in the mid 30's or higher.

 Stay tuned for some great posts when we get back.
