Recollections

When it comes to recollections of events it is generally adversity that gives us the strongest memory retention. We spent a week in La Paz in a beautiful Penthouse but my strongest memory might be getting locked out that penthouse on the heels of thinking that Justin and Nickolus might be injured when we lost sight up them on the rocks down the beach. The girls ran out of the house, and I ran after them as the door shut behind me. We finally got back in after waiting for the locksmith, 90 pesos or $6. I have him forty and my gratitude.

I spent three weeks in Hawaii and remember best getting caught in the rain in Kauai and falling down the embankment.
As a child we didn’t take many vacations but certainly remember the time it rained on us at Oak Creek Canyon near the Grand Canyon. None of the flashlights worked and we could not get the lanterns lit. Denny’s beef stew tastes pretty good when you are cold and hungry.

I guess it sounds like I get caught in the rain quite a bit. That truly isn’t the case as I went for nearly a month to Europe and only saw twenty minutes or rain.
