Kite surfing
In early May my friend, her sons ad I packed a picnic lunch and drove across the peninsula to a beach with shallow water on the west coast. About and hour and a half drive. There we found good winds and a large assortment of kite surfers. The slide show below shows some of them.
I have returned to NYC after completing a three-year contract in Doha, Qatar, a much needed paradigm shift after over 20 years in the higher education sector in the U.S. My efforts now are freelance - editing, research and writing, focusing primarily but not exclusively on genealogy. Genealogy is a natural complement to my over 30 years as an archaeologist studying prehistoric material from Southern Italy and Sicily as well as to my work in library science. The blog I kept while I lived, worked and traveled from Qatar remains available.
