Here's the thing about life in Bermuda. Yesterday it was sunny and calm - a really lovely day. Today it's raining so hard I can't see the bay and there's a gale warning on the weather service for tonight. Daisy thought she wanted to go outside (until I actually took her, but first I had to put on my rubber coat and rubber shoes - thanks again for the Crocs, Jean they are really useful here) and she got soaking wet in under 2 minutes and didn't do any business. Oh well.

I'm starting to figure out the bus system a little. I can get from our apartment to Hamilton and back. However, yesterday morning on the way in I ended up sharing my seat with a cockroach - YUK! I think I'll practice on the bike a little more...

Bermuda can be a really friendly place. It's quite common for a total stranger who passes you on the street to say "good morning". It takes some getting used to, but now I'm even starting to do it myself!

We can hear a strange sound sometimes when we're in the apartment. It's a low, rumbling boom that sounds quite a bit like ice shifting on a lake in winter. It doesn't seem to happen at regular intervals, or even at any set time. It will probably turn out to be something harmless and typical, but in the meantime we're having fun coming up with theories.

And that's it for Valentine's Day from Bermuda.
