We gathered at the beach...


A bunch of friends - some in body, some in spirit - gathered at Playa Borinquen last night for a surprise community farewell to Elaine before she heads off on her new adventure.

What new adventure, you ask?

Elaine leaves next week for two weeks visiting kids and grandkids. Then she leaves for the island of St. Lucia for three months. She is going to be the SLP (speech-language pathologist) for an NGO center that is the only provider of therapy services for children on the island.

St. Lucia is a tiny island (only  239 sq mi, compared with just over 3,500 sq mi in Puerto Rico) down the West Indies island chain 472 miles (760 km), about an hour-and-a-half flying time, southeast of Puerto Rico.


We will miss her tons (especially me). But this great new adventure is something that speaks to her heart so I am so happy she has this opportunity. May Navidad come soon, though! LOL
