Just Another Day in Paradise

Although it's a day later, I will try and remember all that happened yesterday, and maybe attach some pictures, although that is such a headache.  Sometimes the right thing magically pops up and sometimes it doesn't, top that all off with the fact that it's in dutch, I've got real problems.  Why it doesn't come up in English is beyond me, but so far we are managing!  Started off with a nice and relaxing morning, walking the beach, looking here and there.  We have been itching to call home and have had a card for days, but can't find a phone that will accept what we want to do!  Yesterday we started out by them telling us only a 15 minute walk to an international phone.  The day before, a 15 minute walk turned out to be quite a hike so we thought we'd take a local bus.  When we were dropped off we found a grocery store but no phone.  BTW, it was a grocery store, with so much dutch stuff it was incredible.  They also carried white chocolate lettersw, so if anyone is interested in them instead let me know, Keri you're welcome too although you already have one, no big deal!  I most certainly will be getting one for myself regardless.  So back to the story, no phone there but a small jog up a hill there they were.  Didn;t work, those small phone booths in the heat, are enough to try anyone's patience, so we gave up.  Took another local bus who said, "I do have to go downtown first and then back to your hotel, to which we replied, fill your boots, i'ts cool in here!"  Arrived back at the hotel, and me so enthused with the new droopies I had, took the droopies, but left my purse on the bus !!!!!!!   Dad is frantically waving the bus down, I'm standing there helpless, but did take the bus license down, ( real hard BUS29)  Thankfully another driver saw dad in all his franticism, and waved the driver down!  Yeah dad's heart is fine, it can pump very strong when it needs to!  Thankfully my purse and I were re=united.  All that was in there of importance were our driver's licenses.  Regardless, I am not a shoe in for the bonehead of the day award.
After a very competitive round of Bingo, (you think the seniors are bad, you've never seen the dutch!),  Dad went on a dune buggy tour.  He had a blast and I hope to get some of the pictures posted.  I didn't go because one of the stops was to be a bat cave, and I thought better than to hassle the bats, but to leave them in their peace and tranquility.  Dad was so hot and muggy and muddy when he got back he just hopped into the pool, shoes and all!  It was really funny,  BUT, it didn't take long and he noticed his sunglasses missing.  There were a lot of little darlings in the pool on a "quest" to find the grampa's glasses.  We haven't given up hope as of yet, he thinks he may have left them at the dune buggy place, if so, I win the award, if not I will gladly give your dad that honor!  Anyway, IF I still have your attention, I"ll try pics a little later.  Love to you all!
