Abby, Zoë and Enzo

Shortly after 6:00 this evening, we walked to get some ice cream.  The walk ended up being 3,150 feet (960 meters).  Abby, Zoë and I all got an ice cream cone, with two scoops.  It was self serve and cost by weight, the total price being R$4.70... pretty good for three cones.  You'd pay almost that much just for one cone in Portsmouth.  We sat down to enjoy our cones and the scenery.  Zoë had a yellow as her top scoop,  can't remember the flavor, and melon as her bottom scoop.  Abby had piña as one scoop and strawberry with chocolate chips as another.  I had a triple chocolate as my first scoop and tiramisu as my second.  Mine were definitely the best tasting in my opinion.  Afterwards we walked back along the beach, with wonderful temperatures and delightful breeze.

After 'first breakfast' of oranges, and bananas in graviola yogurt, the girls and I got ready to walk to the beach.  I brought our paper of yoga sequences, the camera, and a bottle of water.  We walked the 1200 feet (366 meters) to the beach and found a good spot to begin our "waking up" sequence.  After the first couple of poses I could see that the girls were going to need some boundaries, so I drew them each a yoga mat in the sand.  After finishing all of the poses, we walked down to the water to get rinsed off.  Abby walked out and sat right down to let the waves wash over her.  Zoë on the other hand didn't think this was such a good idea.  When she finally sat down, in very shallow water, she clung to my leg and jumped up as soon as the first wave came over her, barely covering her legs.  So we all stood and I walked them out a little further so that I could splash some water up on them and get them rinsed a bit.  Afterwards we were all set to walk back to the apartment and get a shower and a yummy 'second breakfast' that Daddy prepared, of potatoes, onions, and garlic with a fried egg over top.
