And the Dolphin Did Dance

Mary gave us another Berberi fruit like she did last year.  What you do is peel it, squish it and mixed condensed sweetened milk. Then freeze and VOILA you’ve got ice cream!  Now I need to get some sweetened milk.

We spent most of the day yesterday at Mary’s house with her and Carl and friends here from Boqete.  Fabulous dinner – spinach manicotti, snow peas, tossed green salad and cheese cake for desert. Yep, we are living large in the rainforest this year. There’s been no rice & beans on anyone’s menu!

It rained all afternoon and while we played dominoes at Mary's we kept an eye out in case there was a break and we could "make a run for it." No such luck!  but, the good news is the wind wasn't blowing and the boat we are using is a good one with a strong motor so this ride wasn't even scary!  the GREAT news is that on the way home, just before we got to the "cut" in the mangroves that separates the two bays, a DOLPHIN jumped up right in front of the boat!  MAGNIFICENT and probably the closest I will ever get to one of those creatures. It was the topping on an already wonderful day! Of course, it happened far too fast to get a snap, not to mention my camera was stowed in double baggies protecting it from the rain, but here's one from the Internet of similar size and action to what we saw:

Today we spent a quiet day “at home.”  I went tromping behind the house to explore but didn’t go very far as the trail pretty much peters out quickly and there are too many things that slink and slither for my liking out there!

So, today was a quiet day, Norm is the Rummy champion so far…..but the day is still young!

Much love from the jungle,

Nancy & Norm
