My family just returned from a week long vacation to Fripp Island in SC. We had lots of beach and pool time and I managed not to get sunburned. Was that because (as my wife says) I stayed out of the ocean? But it was a welcome trip after a month at Scout camp. But the big surprise was when I got home I had a present waiting on me. Troop 300 from South Florida sent me an espresso pot so that I could keep making the Cuban coffee that their leaders taught me to love when they were at Barstow. Now how great is that! Coffee makes the best cultural exchange gift!
