1. It's incredible how a slight change in climate can affect so many things. My hair, for example, though hard to control in this humidity, has never been happier. And, one thing that I've learned in the two weeks that we've been here thus far is that, given this humidity, food turns stale far more quickly. Tortilla chips were chewy in a matter of hours; and the Oreos went soft overnight. I guess that means we have to eat them faster. Darn.
2. I've learned that if you do not speak any English whatsoever and cannot understand the sign that says, "Cash Only," and all you have is your credit card and the attendant is irritated with you, my husband will step in without a second thought and pay for your entire family's admission.
3. Given the limited time that we are here and the *extremely limited* size of my kitchen, keeping dinner healthy, fresh, and creative has become a challenge. Not wanting to load the shelves of our temporary home with seasonings and spices that will not be used up during our three month stint (and not wanting to take any home or have too much go to waste), we have learned to appreciate the beauty in the simplicity of a little salt, pepper, and garlic.
4. If you ever need motivation to workout, spend a day at the beach.
5. It has been so refreshing to have our evenings back, now that Cole is done with the "schooling" part of school. Perhaps life on the island is getting to me, but it has been so nice to slow down a bit. Easily, the highlight of my day is our nightly dinner that we linger over on our back porch overlooking the harbor. I really like this guy.
