They are only playing

Ben writes: Joanna mentioned, I believe, that I was at a soccer game recently. Of course, due to my ankle (which is feeling much better but not yet well, to those concerned) I just sat and watched. These fantastic dogs befriended me, and I got great pictures of them playing with each other. I also met some nice humans, one of whom gave me a ride down in his VW bus, complete with cabinets, a guitar, and pictures of Hawaii on the celing.
Things are just moving along nicely here. It's our last week on this farm, and we will miss everyone quite a bit, but we're already getting excited for the farm in Pahoa, and to get to New Zealand.
We had a great snorkeling trip this weekend, our best yet, and it was at the same bay where I had a terrible time our first weekend. Clear afternoons are much better for snorkeling that cloudy evenings. Don't forget that. The reefs were full of fish, and we saw dolphins playing in the water, though every time I went out to greet them, they were elsewhere.
I updated some picture titles on our flikr account (see the pictures like at the right), and we'll try to do a big upload at Phyl's house before we leave.
In the farm, we are working continually to get the beds into shape, and it really is amazing what a difference our work has made. Maybe Jo mentioned that, too, I have not actually read her last posting.
We miss everyone, and we think about home a lot.
Aloha!
