There are lots of pelicans here, but today we found the mother lode! We happened by a fish cleaning station where a man was cleaning his fish and the pelicans were there in force for the event. The man was the maestro and they were the orchestra because all he had to do was wave some fish parts around and every one of those pelicans moved in perfect synchronization to track that prospective meal!
After being entertained by that show, we had to get back because it was time to take A.J. to the airport. It seems like the month he was here went super-fast. Sadly we had to say goodbye so he could get back in time for classes this fall. In keeping with our pelican theme, he flew out on an Aeropelican turboprop airplane and Eric and I stopped by at the end of the runway to watch his plane take off.
In just a few weeks, Eric will be returning to the States for a month. I'm starting to think we're in a phase of constant, constant change. Just what is everyday and normal anymore? I have no idea. As they say, change is good. If that's true, we're most excellent!
It would also be excellent if we had more visitors in the pipe. While my assignment was initially set for two years, there is no guarantee on our time here as it's dictated by the changing tides of business decisions. So, please don't wait to set those wheels in motion - get that passport now and start planning! You won't regret it - Eric and I will make sure of that!
How did A.J. feel about coming home? Was he ready to leave and does he want to come back?

He was definitely sorry he had to go especially since it will probably be at least a year before he has a chance to come back.
