We spent a little time by the pool again today, indulging in the three R's: reading, ruminating, and resting. It was interesting to hear Québecois being spoken nearby. Ey, qu'est-ce qui se passe, mon vieux? Late afternoon clouds moved in and a light wind cooled things down, but enough sun bathed us to brown us up a few shades. The fact is we do not sit in the sun.

We ordered up Mexican Salsa and tacos for lunch.This, it should be noted, is truly delightful stuff, very tasty indeed.
