View from the Room - Santo Domingo
In Santo Domingo a few blocks away from the ocean but not the resort area. The view is mostly trees and buildings. But off to the side if I look hard, I can distinguish sky from sea.

Endless Summer
It's been hot for weeks. Even though I haven't been home, the house is not cooling down so it was time to escape to a place with a/c. Harbor Island fit the bill!
Endeavour at LAX
What were the odds that I would be on a plane departing LAX at the same time the Endeavour was scheduled to touch down? First we saw the flyover and then every flight was boarding fast so pilots, crew, and passengers could be there to watch the landing. Our plane was pulling out of the gate right as the Endeavour flight landed. I saw the plane go by but couldn't get the landing photo. Pulling out onto the runway was a traffic jam of vehicles headed to the Space Shuttle. If I had known Nichelle Nichols was there to give a special speech, I may have tried to jump out of my plane! As many LAX employees that could get away were on the building tops watching the landing. Even business must go on around the landing. How cool is it to have an official NASA aircraft bring Endeavour home?
