This is me at 9 Palms

The site of the 1/2 star hotel.

Plenty of shade for everyone.

Even for naps!

Not a very good picture, but there is surf out in the background. By the way, Al is a doctor (good idea to take a doc on surf trips).

You can't quite tell, but the hurricane is getting close. That's why the picture is getting dark. Nice hair for Al. Note that my cot is up in the bushes where it blew with wind. This was only the precursor.

Got kinda windy. Those were steel I-beams holding up the sign.

And it got a bit difficult to go out the road to the beach.

The restaurant we had lunch at after I picked them up at the airport was having some trouble.
