Bonus Fruit, A Nautical Note - and We're On our Way Home

FRUIT: A few of you have chuckled at the "hedgehog" fruit. Here's "dragonfruit" - both in the peel and then inside! Who'd have guessed that the white, seed-speckled flesh would be inside this gnarly-looking, hot pink item?

NAUTICAL NOTE: Red, right returning - yep, the river is marked with a red and green, lighted buoy system. If they pay as much attention to it as to the street traffic lights, well, I'm guessing there's some running aground out of the channel happening.

COMING HOME: We leave Saturday morning (here) at 5:30 to begin our journey home. It's been a good trip, but I'm happy to be coming home to friends and family and funny, furry pets.

Thank you for reading along, and I'm eager to share more stories and pictures when I return.
