The past two night I have not been able to sleep very well. The problem has not been a problem, though; my dear, dear friend, Hope, arrived today shortly after school!
She made the trip here to give moral support (and to check out this beautiful island, too!) and relieve some of the loneliness. There's no way I could ever express how much it means to me.
The flight landed less than an hour after school, so the timing was perfect, too! We picked her up, brought her up to the house so she could see it, and then went to a new local eatery called Zaco's Tacos. We enjoyed their hibiscus ginger tea, along with amazingly delicious chips, salsa, and burritos! The place is very cute, too, so the whole thing was fun experience.
Afterward, we headed to Flamenco Beach to show that to Hope and to take a quick dip in the cool water after a hot day. As we were driving along the main road, I heard my name being shouted. Sure enough, it was one of my new pals here in Culebra. So we made a quick u-turn so Hope could meet her and her three adorable kiddos. Flamenco was mostly empty, but due to the recent storms there is a lot of seaweed on the beach and the tide is very high. The waters were quite a bit rougher than what's typical, but I think that's because we're getting another storm this weekend.
We then headed for home and got cleaned up and ready for bed. Hannah was pooped and out by 8:00; Hope and I lasted until almost 9! Aren't we party animals??
Thank you, God, for my dear friend and her visit! It truly feels like a lifeline!
