Home again?

We're back in the city after one last luxurious day on Green Island enjoying the pace of 'island time' and checking out sand crabs, pumice (washed up on the Island from long-ago volcanos in Indonesia), and the underwater observatory (both at night, when the lights attract sea worms and shrimp) and in the daytime. Kate and Tess continue to refine their snorkeling skills... 'Moved in' to our apartment for the next two weeks - you have to like a climate that requires no AC or central heat (just a space heater in the living room). The girls were a little homesick because the apartment is truly a home and thus features family photos and thus 'isn't ours'. But it's good to see how other families live (at least in the long view) - and hopefully they will appreciate what we have all the more when we return. We'll be exploring the local grocery store and trying to buy a used car today, so more on that later ;) - note the honeycomb tempting Kate in the pictures below that Tess mentioned in her post - have never seen anything like it on a buffet (as well as Cassius - 18 feet long - being tempted by a piece of chicken)
