Lazy Sunday morning

This morning Kunal came along. He always comes in the evening, so for the first time we could show him the garden by daylight. Conveniently he could shed light on the Diwali rituals. Thanks Kunal! Always a pleasure having you around.

Garden Dinner

Another post still waiting to be published! Some time back we had Mike and Elain visiting us, together with two of Elain's sisters and a friend. We had dinner in the garden (Ivone made a great lamb stew) and a very pleasant evening.

Hong Kong

Sorry for being somewhat late with posting, but we have been traveling a lot lately. One of our trips was to Hong Kong. We staid in the W Hotel at Kowloon side (above the Elements -a big shopping center- and the Airport Express) and had a beautiful view of the skyline of Hong Kong Island. This picture was taken standing at ground level next to the 112 story ICC building.

Footwork

Melissa lately attracts a lot of Nick Bollettieri's attention. He likes very much her technique (both in handling forehand and backhand) as well as her footwork. Melissa has been put in a new group and currently they have pre-competitions and they are working very hard towards the upcoming tournaments. A lot more to follow ...


Upcoming family reunion

Next week we will have a kind of belated Halloween gathering for the family. We will travel from all directions to Boston for a family reunion. We will arrive Wednesday 3rd November and meet Camila. Next day Melissa will join from Florida. And Sunday 7th we will fly back again ...

Spring Tide at Petit Hall

Spring tide at Petit Hall means the sea battering the wall that separates the from the Arabian Sea. When the waves hit the wall you feel the ground shaking and a second later you see the sea water showering the garden. Most times I look at it during the night, but this weekend I was lucky and could take some pictures by daylight.
