One Day at a Time

More to come later, once I get my pictures back and find some time here or there to add pictures.

We spent last week in Sanibel, Florida, with our friends Andy and Becka. We shared a condo for a whole week and are not only still speaking to each other, but are still friends. Wow!

It was a wonderful trip--too wonderful. I'm really resenting being in Minnesota right now. If it weren't for the puppies, I might not have returned. Lori dog-sat for us for part of the week; we were coming up with a variety of scenarios to have her put them in a big packing crate and just shipping them to us. (Lori has a few comments on the experience on her site, but not many, as she knows I read her blog and probably doesn't want me to know the real story.... :-) ).

Sanibel and Captiva Islands are on the bay side of the Florida peninsula. Both were hit by Hurricane Charley in August 2004. Sanibel wasn't hit nearly as hard as Captiva, a situation which is clearly evident when we were there. The island of Captiva had been split by another storm in the earlier part of the 20th century, creating the islands of Captiva and North Captiva. In 2004, Charley created yet another island, "North North Captiva," as evidenced in this impact survey and as explained by our guide on our dolphin-watching cruise (more to come about the cruise).

Becka has some pictures up on her site (Andy borrowed the fancy digital camera from Adobe to play with on vacation), but I promise I'll get mine up. I'll probably have to do a powerpoint display of some variety--I took somewhere around 12 rolls of film on this trip, plus finishing other rolls. It was pretty spectacular.
