Christophers Commute

Christopher has an amazing job. We remind ourselves OFTEN that it is very rare to have your dream job be the first job you ever get. Because of the long hours Chris works (being VERY sarcastic here, he works 8:00-5:30) he gets up a little early to go work out in the Gym at the Embassy. His commute to work is a rough one... when he walks out the gate he sees this:

(this is the "pier" right in front of our house. It is actually a gas line where they pump in petrol for the local stations... kids love to jump off the large hunk of concrete to the right of it)
then he turns and walks down the sidewalk, listening to the waves roll in and out for about 100 meters, until he FINALLY reaches the gate of the Embassy. Usually on his walks in the sun is just coming up over Cristo Ray (where the mountains meet the sea and there is a huge Christ statue)

I love the preggy mommy walking with her little boy on the beach.

If you are under 40 and above 16 here-- you are probably pregnant... yesterday within five blocks I counted 8 preggy ladies walking down the street.

All along beach road there are boats, tons of fishing boats turned upside down waiting for their owner to come drag them out.

I love the vast array of colors and often they have fun names painted on the side. When Chris is done working out he often sees early morning fisherman dragging in their boats and nets with their catch for the day:

One more look at the pier and tadda he is home:

He commented yesterday that he can't even listen to an entire song on the ipod, his commute is so short... poor guy, I really feel for him :)
