Another week gone by in paradise. No rain for weeks but it's in next week's forecast. Risk of fire in the rain forest is high so rain is needed.

Attended my first tribal belly dance class here. It's the same but different so I've decided to be the "smart" one in the beginner's class rather than the "dumb" one in the intermediate class.

After breezing through the boat operators' course attending the first of 2 workshops of the marine radio operator's course was a shocker. We've been sent home with a CD of the manual and a handout of 404 questions that need to be answered by next Thursday. Here I sit reading the manual with a Bailey's in hand (and pencil), so you can imagine how frustrating and difficult it appears to be. It makes absolutely no sense to have a simple test to operate a vessel, potentially endangering lives, and yet to get permission to operate a RADIO  one needs to be a bloody brain surgeon.

One more tidbit of information: there's a girl's soccer team called the Bosco Beavers - no lie!!!! They don't have beavers here.
