A Rainy Afternoon in Paradise
After a delicious buffet lunch we went to the white beach and swam in the large waves again. While most of us swam others hung out on the beach and read or napped. The water was so clear that you could see your feet. I feel like I’ll never be able to swim in Ocean … Continue reading A Rainy Afternoon in Paradise

From One Mom to Another
The mother in me tends to come out from time to time. On the streets of Cot, I found myself checking to see who remembered to put sunscreen on, hugging the girls to keep them warm as the rain came, and telling the boys to get away from the dead rat on the street.
