Happy day to all you valentines out there. Here is a local tradition in the next town over from me. The pic doesn't do it justice - these hearts are plastered all over town. Just a fun thing that gives me a lift. http://www.wcax.com/content/news/Valentines-bandit-strikes-again--474059953.html

Happy Valentines to you to roger

Very true, Mike, but things are slowly being restored. We were very fortunate to have power since week 2 here in Arecibo. We were without water for 36 days but purchased filtered water from a hospital supplier for drinking and cooking ... there was NO bottled water!, refilled tanks of potable water through the municipality for bathing, and collected rain water for cleaning and laundry. Telephone and internet service is very poor and has still not returned fully. We had no property damage or flooding. Just a lot of discomfort those first couple of months. Stores and supermarkets are fully stocked but lots of local produce is missing until new crops grow. I put up a few pictures on FB for public viewing. You can see that by finding maria elena, arecibo ... I am wearing a peach sleeveless top and a big smile.

Even edged in pink...thanks. tj
