Subject: Back in La Paz

Not much to report, just that it’s strange being back in La Paz again. We are anchored right next to Lady Carolina amongst a sea of boats, and we had a great time catching up last night. There are several other boats here we know from our summer up in the sea, so Tim’s birthday is looking like it’s going to turn into quite the party tomorrow. We’ll be in La Paz until at least Thursday, and will hopefully grab some wifi at some point. All I know is I’m running on the malecon this morning!
