The morning started out with a run for me, followed by a lazy morning.  We sipped coffee, had coconut pancakes, read and then decided to snorkel.  The waters were a bit cloudy, but that didn’t stop the fish from hanging out.

I asked Mike to dictate the report to me for this part.  This is his report:

We went up a lot of steps and came down a lot of steps.  So there you have it folks, Mike’s hike report.

The boys arrived home and took a refreshing dip in the pool.   Paul let Mike take his Z out for a spin.  Mike was a very happy person.

Mike was so excited about this, on the way home he missed the exit ramp for the H1 twice, because he was telling me the story of the drive.

Once the boys made it back, it was dinner time.  We devoured yummy ribs, with coleslaw, beans, bread and dessert was the best chocolate chip cookies on the planet.

After dinner, we sipped homemade limoncello and chatted.  It was a great day spent with friends, who are so comfortable to be with.
