(Tap Tap Tap) Hello! Hello? (Is this machine working? Is there anyone out there reading? We have been gone more than two weeks!!!) Halo! Hello! I don't think I see a soul out there, but here goes!
Hello dear readers. Ann and Dale are back in Rockport. We have been here all of....two hours. From the last time I blogged I have ridden in ....an ambulance going to ER with ME in it! An American Airlines plane flying to Dallas... an American Airlines plane flying to Fort Lauderdale, Florida... a 900' cruiseship called the CONSTELLATION. A near worn-out missionary's truck driving the backroads of Colombia. A lifeboat from the Constellation (no it wasn't an emergency. it was used to take us ashore where the ship could not dock). A reject fiberglass boat that would never pass an inspection in US of A. A sight-seeing van. A three-wheeled bicycle that towed three of us plus the driver. Calvin loved that bike-taxi.A tour bus. A "hayride trailer" pulled by a tractor. We were in a "jungle".
A fifty-two foot motored sailboat that took us whale-watching. Emily steered it most of the hour return. She was cool! I am sure forgetting some.
The trip was absolutely fantastic. It was near perfect until we met the snafus caused by customs in San Diego. The system could do for some improvement. The food was...well.... just like you have heard about. Most of it in our restaurant I had never heard of. I ate everything from snails(escargot) to lobster. No bologna or SPAM! The food and service was top-notch. I will tell you a bit by bit account when I find my diary and rest my eyes.
Thank you for your every prayer. My heart cooperated and I had no problems. Ann was a trooper and stayed up with me through every step and place. I saw no place I had rather live than here in the good old USA!
