Puddle jumping in the Cook Islands | Home

First sunset on Aitutaki at the beach in front of our hotel

I am home, perched in my usual spot at the counter by the south window. My mouth is watering from the smell of thickly sliced bacon sizzling on the stove. There are ripe tomatoes on the counter, fresh lettuce in the fridge, and GF bread in the toaster. I've been starving for this BLT for several days now, and finally I'm about to bite into it. Will there be mayo? Definitely mayo...

 I will post photos over the next several days so if you've been reading along and patiently (or otherwise) waiting for photos, here they come. You can click on a photo to enlarge it.

Coconuts are destroying the land, robbing it of its nutrients, but they also provide food for the pigs, and a cool drink on a hot day

Gardenias, growing wild, are made in to the welcoming EIs and bouquets

Night time entertainment, island style

Thanks to all who have followed me on this lazy crazy journey. It was definitely restful and so beautifully warm, all the time, everywhere. How nice, never to be cold. And now for home, and the threat of snow, as winter settles in.
