The harbinger of winter, that white stuff called snow,has been falling back at Star Mt., small amounts granted, but happening with ever increasing frequency.
And it was 89 here in Naples yesterday. We're here earlier than ever before and since the weather news is not expressing alarm, I've got to assume this is normal. Just a tad warm and humid for those of us who come from dry as dust and highs in the 60's. Better for your skin of course, and it is supposed to start cooling off the end of next week.
In the meantime, we are jumping right in, rolling in it in fact, all the amenities that here. Restaurants, shopping, Whole Foods, and the most luxurious movie theater we've ever been to. Leather club chairs, reserved seating, restaurant in the lobby.
Just saw Gravity. Warning: do not go to this movie if you intended to have a couple hours of sweet romantic comedy. It is non stop adrenalin pumping,heart in your mouth action. We went to the 3D version and yes, wore those stupid glasses. Sandra Bullock is amazing in this, definitely understand the Oscar buzz directed her way.
This photo is of the full moon (Hunters Moon) that was still very visible at 7 this morning. Tis dark at this time in the morning till the time change.
Fast Internet is a joy, having had slug slow for months. We should have speedy Internet when we go home thanks to our neighbour,(another story for another time) but in the meantime it works well here. I started a new online class (MOOC) ,since I can now see the video lectures again, entitled Plagues, Witches, and War, historical fiction. Fun title right? Quite serious at least to start. It's literary historical fiction, not bodice ripping historical romance, as in Xenophon (Socrates pupil), Sir Walter Scott, Jane Austen, Mark Twain, etc. with some modern authors giving seminars along the way. I'll let you know how it goes.
