Things are going well

O.K. here is the deal. I am getting alot of requests for correspondence, and I just do not have the free time. I spend most of my free time with the most important person in my life, Kathleen. I am speaking with her daily and that's the way I want it. Everyone else comes second. So I thought I would post here to update everyone else.

Life here is definitely different. The heat can be quite intense, the other day it was 50 with the humidity, and I am told that it may get hotter. The job is good even though the hours are long, or so it would seem in 50 degree weather. Even though it is almost unbearably hot and I miss my family alot, I am getting quite comfortable here. As long as I keep my longterm financial goals in mind I believe that I will not have too much trouble staying here. Kathleen has discovered that she can fly down for $400 Canadian round trip, so that will make things that much better knowing that she can come down more often.

Anyway, I went out snorkeling yesterday with my friend Jim. For something that I always thought way kind of gay I had a great time. It is unbelievable how peaceful and relaxing it can be. The underwater environment is amazing. I have purchased and underwater camera, and once I get it figured out a little better I will post photos. We were snorkeling around a ship wreck and I saw some pretty big clown fish. Jim came up on a 6 ft barracuda, which was a little intimidating but extremely cool. Of course I ended up with an awful sunburn on my back, because when you are as ugly as me it is hard to get volunteers to put sunscreen on your back.

Other that that I have not had much time to get out, just getting groceries can be a challenge. I am sure that as the heat does not bother me so much I will find more time to do things. As I do I will update here.
