| 4 Masted Cruise Ship in Coco Bay |
OK, so for all you people who have been whining about the paltry use of photos in my blog entries, I am dedicating this week’s blog to you, as proof that it truly is the squeaky wheel that get’s the grease.
While sorting through the zillions of pixels residing in the depths of my hard drive, I was reminded (because of the HUGE number) of the time one of George Bush’s top advisors informed him that 3 Brazilian soldiers had been killed by an IED over in Iraq. President Bush then famously replied: “Three brazilion….wow, that’s really a LOT isn’t it?”

| Boats moored in Coco Bay |
Sorry, I couldn’t resist the temptation to digress. I must say, however, it is extremely easy to wander when writing about no particular subject, where the boundary lines are about as confining as a ring of smoke and the needle on your mental compass spins haphazardly out of control.
Be that as it may, the photo gallery being passed along in today’s “picture blog” consists of random shots of the locale in and around El Coco, photos of Geri and me as proof to the family that we have not been kidnapped even after living for two-plus months in a Latin country, and photos of friends we’ve had the pleasure of knowing while mutually avoiding the horrors of winter in North America.

The pictures of Geri and yours truly are meant primarily for our family and those friends on my limited distribution email list who enjoy making fun of my hair by claiming it has turned grey. In the interest of full disclosure and self defense, I am here to claim that it is not really grey. Rather, it is bleached by the sun and chlorine to a blondish, grayish beige which in daylight and some artificial light just looks kind of grey. But it is not….mostly. Really!

| "Storefronts" in downtown Playas del Coco |
The photos of our friends here in Costa Rica are primarily for THEIR benefit to aid in reminiscing and to remind them where they were, who was here and what they did during the winter of 2011.

I will avoid going into great lengths to identify our local friends as they all pretty much know who they are and who each other is while most of you in the North won’t know or care. I must say, however, that some of our El Coco friends are conspicuously absent from or appear infrequently in this group of photos so the album is incomplete at best.

Being true to my word I am sticking to my promise to be short on verbiage and long on pictures in this week’s photo blog. So, continue looking...........
