Well, although I didn’t participate other than by taking pictures and bringing (very strong) cocktails down to the beach, this weekend’s sand castle competition certainly managed to have an impact on me — that night I dreamed that a friend had bought a giant chocolate sand castle as a gift for another friend (he had bought me a gift as well, so I was happy). Caroline cooked a delicious Haitian meal, I went on my first run since the triathlon (only about 3 instead of the usual 4), and I certainly had my share of belly laughs, many inspired by a re-interpretation of a scene from the 40 Year Old Virgin. If you haven’t watched it lately, you really should. The pictures from the weekend are here.
