Sunday Before Leaving

We hit the Borders and used up our handful of gift cards on beach reading.  Audrey got The Other Boleyn Girl and Bobby got Raiders and Rebels: A History of the Golden Age of Piracy.  Belize has pirates like Charlottesville has Mr Jefferson; you can't help but breathe them in the air.  Bobby remembers one time in Belize - maybe Caye Chapel or St George's Caye? - building a sand fort on the beach as a storm rolled in.  He had a very strong vision (imaginative, not mystical) of a pirate ship coming over the horizon and under the clouds.

We're very excited to get underway, and it'll be hard to go to sleep tonight, for all four hours we expect to get.  Pirates pirates pirates!
