Nicole writes…We climbed up a treacherous mountain/volcano/rock thing today so that MJ, Maggie and Luca could jump off and I could silently play out all the ways in which we could become maimed, handicapped, or fall to our deaths. I did this as silently as possible so as not to disuade my child from experiencing this once in a lifetime opportunity to plunge into the depths of a volcanic lake. He was so brave and I was so proud. Michele and I got into the water in a more senior citizen fashion; sliding down the rocks on our bottoms until we hit water. We then traveled to Antigua and entered our magical new home. It is old and gorgeous, has a beautiful open air garden courtyard in the center (which thrilled Luca whose first words were “I can’t wait to see how many bugs are in here”), and may just be haunted. The thumping heard on the wall between Michele and I’s bedrooms is, um, confusing and a bit disturbing. We will explore more and get back to you on the origin. Other than that bit of potential paranormal activity, I am in love with this home and am so excited to see what the week has in store for us.
