a roadtrip to the beach and more

We are having a good time, yesterday we drove an hour+ to the southern point of the island (laura beach). With hundreds of miles of coast there are very few beaches. It was very cool except the water which was very warm. We've also met a lot of good people. A doctor friend of our lawyer had us over to her apartment and made us indian food. They are both from India so naturally we ate with our fingers. Kate used a fork, she was a little grossed out. Everyone we meet is extremely nice. We're having Esme's birth family over for lunch tomorrow, I think there are about 10 people coming over. We've also been invited to picnic on another island this Sunday by a local family we just met. -M

Kate, you look so at peace and content sitting on that tree on the beach. Love the bonnet on Esme. Glad to hear you've attempted to eat without utensils, too. This is a time of change for you guys - all positive! Love you guys. Alain
