Hello, ibis!
This weekend we're in the Florida Keys. It's amazing and warm. Stay tuned for more when we get home next week! For now, enjoy this beautiful (and very, very lucky) sea turtle.
Here are a few photos from our day trip to Little Rock, Arkansas.  This is 'the' little rock. It's the first visible rock as you come north along the Arkansas River. A little further north is the 'big rock', which is actually a large rocky cliff. During our impromptu trip to Virginia, we visited the Turning Point Suffragist Memorial at Occoquan Regional Park. There's not much to it, just a few signs with historical information and the ruins of a brickworks, but the memorial commemorates the turning point in the struggle for voting rights for women. As dramatized in the film Iron Jawed Angels, more than 70 women were imprisoned in the Occoquan Workhouse for picketing the White house. Below are a few photos (snapped with my iPhone and Instagram) of the memorial: 
I've been asked about my swimsuits a couple of times lately. People who know me know that I own more swimsuits than I do pairs of shoes, and I mix and match them with little regard to fashion. This combination is one of my favorites, mostly because it's comfortable. I can dive, swim, climb, and take my UV-proof shirt off and on without it going anywhere, and that makes me a happy camper. I have a black top and yellow plaid bottoms just like it, but the yellow top and yellow bottom just don't ever seem to come to the top of the pile at the same time. I tend to like mis-matched things, or maybe it's just laziness that keeps me from matching my swimsuits better! Our first night in Honduras was a super-moon, and it was incredibly bright. 
We've spent the past 24 hours en route, 16 of them unexpected, so please stand by for more photos of our trip to Roatan, Honduras.
