Surf's Up! / ¡Surfear!

ALEXANDER, OUR FRIENDS' Tynan and Elena's son, wanted to go surfing today. Elena wasn't thrilled with the idea, but I told her over morning coffee that the sea wasn't at all rough despite the threatening skies. By the time we returned home, however, things had changed. Alexander could have come over and surfed in our pool.

ALEXANDAR, EL HIJO de nuestros amigos Tynan y Elena, quería ir a surfear hoy. A Elena no le gustó la idea, pero le dije durante el café de la mañana que el mar estaba bastante tranquilo a pesar del cielo amenazante. Cuando volvimos a casa, sin embargo, las cosas habían cambiado. Alexander podría haber venido y haber surfeado en nuestra piscina.

  2. Impressive wind and waves. We have been deluged with rain and some intermittent gale-force wind over on this side of the world too. Sunny and calm this afternoon, though.

    1. Wilma,
      More wind today and supposed to get worse before it eases up late Wednesday. Glad you’ve enjoyed a bit of sunshine.

      From what's predicted for Wednesday, I think we'll have the addition of a kiddie pool.
