Christina posts photos

And, they are fabulous. Can't wait to see photos from safari. And, to hear about other adventures in South Africa.
Brittany and I went to Monterey on Saturday for a cousin's wedding. The Chapel in the Woods near RLS school in Pebble Beach was a lovely setting for these two young people to have their ceremony. The reception was in the Del Monte Club, a big ballroom, in the historic hotel at The Naval Postgraduate School. We had a lovely time and enjoyed seeing all our family.

Christina and Morocco

Yeah, Christina posted a blog about her visit to Morocco. Good goin' girl! Hopefully, she'll tell all of what she did in Namibia.

News from Namibia

I received a phone call from Christina from Swakopmund, Namibia this morning. She and some other students stayed a couple nights in a backpackers lodge there. When she told me how much she loved this area, I was surprised. She said the dessert is beautiful. Somehow I didn't expect this. Afterall, the area has been described by the Bushmen of the Namibian interior as "the land God made in anger", while Portuguese sailors once referred to it as "the gates of hell". Anyway, Christina and some of her SAS friends had lots of fun riding quads on the dunes. She said she was sunburn, though it's uncertain she was overexposed while on the dunes or on the beach. She said they'll be out to sea for a day before arriving Cape Town.

Where's Waldo

I don't know where Waldo is, but I have received an email from Christina that she is lovin' Namibia. For all of you awaiting her blog on Morocco, I wait along with ya! She's either having so much fun that finding time to keep us posted is difficult, or her studies have her all consumed. I'd guess it's a little of both with the fun factor being of highest priority. You go girl! For those of you who have checked out the staff's SAS blog, rest assured that Christina did not shave her head for Neptune Day. I almost fainted when she jokingly wrote in an email that she had.

Otherwise, Miss Brittany and I had fun at a Valentine's dance for about 75 young adults with special needs in Brentwood.

Let's try this one on for size...

Sorry about that up-close and personal photo on my home page. I'm new to this blogging stuff, so don't be surprised, shocked, or offended by any of it's content.

I can't tell you how fabulous a time Christina and I had in the Bahamas. And, that drink at Anthony's Grill on Paradise Island was oh-so yummy, not to mention their fabulous food and awesome ambience.

I'm not too sure how those college kids felt about me getting jiggy with it on the dance floor at Senor Frogs, but, who cares, I had a blast.

At the Atlantis, I was tempted to go play blackjack at the table where Michael Jordan was playing until Christina reminded me that the minimum bet was probably $500. Silly me!
