family visit . .
greg went swimming with the little ones . .
How warm was it? It is funny that you bought towels at a souvenir store, like real tourists. Has Greg's family always lived in Florida? It looks kind of empty, the beach, I mean. Were there many people? So nice that Greg swam with the children.
ReplyDeleteIt was early morning on a week day, so not too many tourists were out yet . . 8:30 am about. It was funny buying the towels, and they were a good price, $12.99 I think. Greg's mom has lived in the town all her life, with a few years in Morocco, Ohio and Nebraska. Her family is from the Bahamas and Key West and Greg's dad's family from Ohio . . way back I think both sides trace themselves to England and Wales.
DeleteIt was good he swam with the little ones. I didn't expect him to at first. I almost did also but then decided it would be nicer to be the documentarian.
DeleteThat is a funny mix: Morocco, Ohio, and Nebraska! Do you know where in Ohio? Why Morocco?
DeleteP.S. Good you did some picture taking and not swim.
Delete:) Greg's dad was in the Air Force and was stationed in Morocco which was where Greg was born (on Nouasseur Air Force Base - which is no longer used by the U.S. and is now known as Mohammed V International Airport). They then lived in Ohio and Nebraska, but I'm not sure which came first. Somewhere along the way he left the Air Force and they settled in Florida.
DeleteAh, that makes sense then :). Peter grew up in Oberlin, Ohio. Do you know where in Ohio Greg was?
