For our gardening friends

Gail has spun the same magic here in La Penita as she has done at Sproat Lake. Winter is over here and the color is more vibrant every day, Throughout the winter she gets color from the variety of foliage she has chosen. It's a real pleasure in the morning to have a big decision to make, what to look at first.... the ocean through the palms or this master garden.

Dave and Tony went off yesterday to find artifacts and came home with a bucket of pottery pieces that could be up to 3500 years old. After washing the pieces we see some very intricate paintings on most of them
