Euan (complete with Skim Ice stains on his shirt) and Frankie this week at Kite Beach

As busy and crazy as Cabarete became during Semana Santa, we really enjoyed our spring break, no school, morning lie-ins, etc. etc. We had the most perfect weather (before the summer heat hits) and some wind for kiting.  No waves for Jim this week to speak of, but there’s some sign of a swell for Wednesday.  In any case, he has Peru to look forward to in early summer – he’ll head for Chicama and the longest lefts in the world.  At the same time, I will be heading for Miami with the boys and they’ll go to the UK to see their nice Dad for a few weeks.  

Whilst I am in Miami, I’ll be shopping for the surf camp we are building.  In actual fact, unlike most women, I do not enjoy shopping.  The ‘shopping gene’ did not enter my body during embryo development  and I find it a chore (example, I never try clothes on in a shop) and sometimes a stress.  I’m trying to organise myself so that I know exactly what we need down to the last fork, which already does my head in, but progress is being made.

Yesterday, we bought a pool table for the camp and I’m looking forward to receiving that when it gets shipped here in a few weeks – we need to get some practise in before our first guests arrive.  We’ll have a ping pong table, darts, a swimming pool, a volley ball court and a load of board games to keep people busy while they are staying with us. They may well need a vacation after their holiday.
