Good morning. I took Cecilia out to Lake Travis yesterday to see one of the cool things about Austin that doesn't involve shipping. There's a restaurant with a view of the lake and overpriced food there. Also checked out the dam, but you can't walk on it. I've done a couple of virtual races through Moon Joggers, Virginia. Usually because I think my niece will like the medal, so we do it together.

Good morning
Lou, thanks for our weekly start. That's a great picture of you and Cecilia.
Virginia, I did one virtual race. It was fun. Agree on the snake. I've had them a couple times in my barn (eat those mice ;-) and in the yard. I do believe they will kill copperheads???
Debbie, enjoy your time at the resort. Love the pictures on FB.
Waving to Vicki and Lori
My sister is coming tomorrow to help me go through our parents things. The basement looks great and smells good too.

Happy Monday, Louis - thanks for the start. Great photo of you and Cecilia, I am so happy you are together. Brenda - yay on having a clean , fresh smelling basement. I don’t mind snakes as long as they aren’t poisonous.
Today we explored the island a little by bus, there are an incredible number of buses here. The island is so different from the north to south side. So beautiful. Tomorrow we are taking a scuba diving refresher class, I am so nervous

Happy Tuesday, Today we are scuba diving. It has been 13 years since I have been diving and longer for Ted so we are taking a recertification class. This morning we did a beach dive to practice skills and in a hour we are going on a boat dive. Very scared and excited. This morning we did see fish, crabs and sea creatures. CBL Debbie

Good morning.
Out of mild curiosity, how do they clean the breathing apparatus, Debbie? I'd imagine that's a big concern for people that drive.

Hi, Louis - everything is cleaned and soaked in disinfectant after the dive. Each diver is responsible for cleaning and hanging their wetsuit and bc, the octopus is soaked in disinfectant. We also had to wear our mask except while diving. There were only 7 people on the boat.
I survived!

Good morning.
It seems like they have that process dialed in pretty well, Debbie
Toe still hurts. But, it's more like a bruise at this point.

Happy Wednesday, Louis - there are so many restrictions to be followed, the dive company had to have all equipment serviced and then there was a fire in the equipment room so all the equipment is new. Spain is trying to keep the virus at bay but the number of cases keeps goin up. I am getting nervous .
Today we wore the bus back to Las Palmas, about an hour each way, Ted’s wallet fell out of his back pocket on Monday on the bus. I emailed the bus company when he realized it was gone and they phoned my later in the day to say they had it but of course we were already almost back to the resort. So today we went to retrieve it, of course all the cash was gone but the cards were still there. We are both tired from diving yesterday. Time to relax now. Debbie

Happy Thursday, I didn’t get to try a paddle boarding this morning, first time we went down to the beach they were still closed, the second time we didn’t have the correct form of payment by then it was hot so I went snorkeling instead. So Atlanta time and pool time so far today. It is a lazy pretravel day. Tomorrow we fly back to Valencia. Debbie

Good morning.
Sorry about the cash, but the other stuff in a wallet is the most important anyway, Debbie.
Bought Cecilia's ticket to go to Brazil on 10/4 and she'll be there just short of a month - two weeks to self-isolate and two to be with her mom. So, party in Austin on 10/5!

Good morning. The umbrella that's always in my car - wasn't in my car.

Good morning.
I'm taking Cecilia to Fredericksburg today for a change of scenery. It was settled by Germans in the 18-somethings. Supposed to have lots of little shops and such along with German food.
And yesterday we bought paint and new knobs to slap a little lipstick on the pig that is our kitchen.

Happy Saturday, Brenda - hi, how are you doing? Louis - your place will look so nice.
Yesterday was a long travel day. This morning started with oatmeal and body pump plus a short Blogilates cardio. I went to the mall and walked. Steps almost done. Debbie

Hello,
Happy Saturday evening to all.
Lou, when I took some things out of my car to have DNephew detail it, I had four compact umbrellas behind the driver’s seat. Maybe I should send one to you. Have fun on your day trip and I hope the lipstick brightens up the kitchen. That’s fun that you and your niece do virtual races together.
Brenda, I hope that you and your DSis had a good visit while going through the heirlooms and keepsakes. What distance was your virtual race?
Debbie, you’ve had a busy week. What’s the next adventure? So glad that you and Ted survived scuba diving, and that the wallet was returned.
Waving hi to Vicki and Lori. I hope that you are both doing well.
We received the official word on Monday that we will not be going back to the office building. We have to sign up for times to retrieve our personal belongings and return our keys. The intent is to ensure that we are distancing and that only a handful of us are in the building at the same time. I wasn’t really shocked by the announcement. It’s a bit sad. I miss the in-person interactions.
I’m planning to walk from home tomorrow morning. When my alarm went off this morning, I barely heard it and opted to sleep in. It’s going to be a bit cool so it should be a really nice walk.
I hope everyone has a great evening.
Take care, Ginia
