The A/C works fine. It didn't take much to get it going after all.

Yesterday we went for a drive in the Mercedes. The A/C doesn't work in that. But we are in the dry season so the humidity is down. The temperature was about 86 degrees in town. We rolled down the windows and headed for Ipao Beach Park.

Some of you may remember that Wakana and I acted as guides for a group of Japanese students from Shodoshima last year. There is another group here again and one of the George Washington High School students called us to join her class in a party at Ipao Beach to welcome the Japanese students. It was a lovely day to be at the park. We ate the food, drank the drinks, and talked with the kids. Then we went up to the new movie theater in Hagatna to see Eragon. After that we took a walk around the shopping center, then around Asan Beach Park (we call it Little Waikiki because on the line of palm trees along the shore) and headed home. A very good day. The Mercedes handled well. We were comfortable and cool enough without A/C.

This morning we will finish up our Christmas packages and mail out our Christmas cards. I don't have addresses for many of you. If you want to PM an address to me I would love to send a card to each of you to thank you for taking this trip with me.
