Today I have been a bit lazy, trying to fight off this cold. I am feeling better, so will probably be up to the evening swim tonight. A good thing about an evening swim, is that we don’t become sunburned and it is cool and relaxing after a hot day. The water is so clear we can easily see our feet even at 5ft. and the sun down! It is beautiful.

After lunch, I took Larry to the office and then did some grocery shopping. I took some pictures inside the store for those of you who are interested. They do carry some American foods for the Americans who are not brave enough to look at the pictures and try something that they may or may not

recognize. They are also more convenient so the kitchen doesn’t heat up quite so much. So far I have not given in and paid the extra money for the convenience.

This morning we discovered that the ants had found our sugar. They were on the outside of the container after a little sugar which was

there. I changed containers and then washed down the kitchen and sprayed around the windows. Will have to be a little more careful. I am so thankful that we have not seen cockroaches. They grow pretty big here and I really do not want to find one, even if my grandsons would love to see it.

We did discover that there is a snake on Bonaire. It grows to a length of 4 inches, and is only seen at dusk when it comes out to feed. It looks like a skinny worm. I have never seen one of these. I think the cockroaches might be bigger

than the snake… well maybe not quite that long, but much wider. I’d rather see the snake!
