We had a great ride to Cijin Island yesterday morning. All the rain from the day before really cleaned up the air so, even though it was hot and humid, the smog was gone.

We went with our friend Jen. She was the first person to take us to the island two years ago but we haven't been back with her since then. It was a nice change to have company and take the opportunity to stop for pictures and to admire the view.

The military ships in the harbor with all decked out with flags. We figured they were gussied up to celebrate the inauguration of the new president.

Lee found a very nice spot to relax along the beach.

He forgot his water bottle on the bench but it was still there when we came back an hour later.

Sometimes I have a lot to say but Lee doesn't always listen. It was good to have a helpful listening device. :)

We treated ourselves to mango ices at our favorite shop, the same one Jen took us to two years ago.

We did not have the mega-bowl of mixed fruit.

Instead, we had bowls of heaven.

We really need to figure out how to get these in Connecticut.
