Hello All!

I haven’t written in a while, and that’s completely due to my decision to sink into June and be completely, unbelievably lazy.  And it was great!

June is the official beginning of the rainy season here in Grenada.  The rainy season here is not to be confused with monsoon-like weather.  For the most part, you can just expect less than an hour of rain a day (or even just a little sun shower), and then everything clears up and is bright and sunny again.  I am also told that June and November get the most rain, which would appear to be true, because we did experience many gray days with rain throughout.

In a way, though, since we were pretty committed to spending most of our time at home–both to complete Breck’s recovery from the semester and to save money for Tokyo–the increase of not-so-nice weather was welcome, and we’ve thoroughly enjoyed ourselves this month.  You can spend an awful lot of time reading books and surfing the internet, and I actually feel more informed about world news (as well as useless junk) than I have in a very long time.  And I’ve also had fun doing a lot of yoga at home, and I’m starting to feel like I’m really getting somewhere with my practice.

Now, as we move into July, it’s almost like a switch has been thrown.  Everything is terrifically green and lush, and sunny days abound.  I’d like to get to the beach a few more times before we leave for Japan (less than 2 weeks left!), and we’re planning on taking an overnight trip to Carriacou next week, to go diving and celebrate Breck’s birthday.

As June has been pretty uneventful, I don’t have too much to tell you.  But I always have opinions about everything, so I will post a couple of more things before we leave.  I’m going to add a section on Tokyo upon our return, as I’m sure I will have plenty to report about that.
