lily in my yard

once a year

these lilies bloom

it is wonderful to see them along the road sides

one thing i love about roatan is it is soooo green

and then you mix a little orange.

mmm

lovely

we went for a nice drive today to 

get out of the heat

it is nice to have a/c in the

car

this morning at 8:00 am the humidity was at 91%

so i hate to think of what it is right now

i have been feeling very sick to my

stomach

so on the way home i went into

a small pulperia (store) to buy some 7 up

the lady asked me in spanish how i was

and i said,

ohh muy malo, yo tengo mucho dolor en mi estomago 

(oh very bad, i have alot of pain in my stomach)

and immediately she lifted up her shirt

and showed me how swollen and bloated she was

saying she felt the same way.

i had to laugh.

it is one of the things i love about the spanish:

expressive and not shy!!
i had to laugh because she was pretty convinced
her stomach pain was due to the 'heat'

so after our ride i staggered (not literally) out in the yard
and got this photo
and now i am going to go

try to cool down by a fan

one good thing about this flu:
no appetite!
poor bob.

i hope all is well in your world today.
