Spring is in a fierce battle with the remnants of a wet winter here, and we got lucky with a planned boat outing to Skadar Lake after a week of rain. This is one of the closest attractions to our home—only about 30 minutes from Podgorica. We highly recommend the Golden Frog tour company in Virpazar; 16-year old Ivana is the owner and guide, and she provided a fantastic afternoon on the water.

As part of our saying goodbye to Colombia, we took one last weekend trip to Cartagena where we stayed at the Santa Clara hotel, a former nunnery dating back to 1621, saw a plethora of birds at the Aviario Nacional de Colombia, enjoyed the beach of Playa Blanca, and sweat like crazy as we walked through the streets of the old city — in preparation for the humidity to come in Texas.

Julia and I spent a long weekend at South Padre Island with my family. The current at the beach was strong but the waves were fun for boogie boarding. The days many activities included a day trip to South Padre Island Birding and Nature Center where we saw a lovely Crocodile (or Aligator) feast on a raccoon, a Saturday with the Brownsville family, and a drive to the dunes to photograph the landscape and beautiful sunset.
