Our son Jake arrived for a week-long stay this morning. He flew in on the same red-eye flight that we did, so the first order of business was to take a long winter's nap. Looking forward to some dive adventures with him. He's Open Water certified (courtesy of our friend Rob Tipton) and his ocean dive experience has been limited to Mexico. He's in for a real treat here.
Notice the hooded sweatshirt. He said it was "still cold" and he didn't shed it until we got back to the apartment. It won't take long to fix that.......Dan
The rainy season has officially passed, but rain shower have been fairly frequent. They are usually short-lived but often intense. After dinner at Patagonia we ventured downtown for some ice cream. One minute we were trying to find and name constellations, the next we were looking for shelter from a downpour.
I know.....no sympathy for us.

After a full day of diving the group headed to Patagonia, an Argentinian steakhouse north of downtown. Rob & Naomi and I had dined there during our scuba trip in Oct 07. It was very much the same---very tasty. Rob & Naomi and I all had a steak dish, while Carolyn had the seafood pasta special of the evening.
Small world tidbit: We sat next to a group from Springfield, IL. One of their group was kind enough to shoot the portrait.

Who doesn't like a pretty sunset. Bachelor Beach. Wed Feb 4, 2009.

Watching sunset is something we try not to miss. It's a short drive to Bachelor Beach, the nearest beach entry to the water. There you have an unobstructed view of the horizon. Rob, Naomi, Max, and Carolyn and I witnessed another spectacular sunset.
We also ran into a couple from Vermont--John and Mindy--who were doing the same. John was quite the character and after Max introduced himself John performed a slight-of-hand trick with string and puzzled us with a riddle.
Max loves meeting new people....Dan
After meeting the young med students at the Karaoke bar on Wed night, Max decided he needed a night out on his own to make even more friends. He dressed up with his new "Flavor Flav"-style leash and hitched a ride downtown.
Apparently he had a very good time and was, as our dive friend Jim Vandiver says, "overserved" a bit and ended up doing a little pole dancing to amuse his new friends.
Max spent all of Friday "resting"....Dan
One of the most elusive and sought-after finds underwater. Naomi is awesome at finding underwater treasures. She located both seahorses we've seen so far. Many people come here on dive trips year after year and haven't yet seen a seahorse.
Rob shot the video and Naomi edited it......enjoy.....Dan
