During the night Frank peeked outside to see where the water was.... it was edging closer. I was afraid to look. Frank got very little sleep.

Sometime between 3 am and 7 am the river went back into its banks and all was well.

Didi sent an email message that they would come out to the park and lead us to their home. We used the time to go to Lackland AFB and buy a few things at the huge commissary. The commissary in Albany is not as big as a normal-sized grocery store.... so the giant, crowded store was an experience. We were in and out as quickly as possible.

Frank bought us a couple of tacos and a burrito at a Mexican Restaurant just outside the base gates. They were good..... definitely not a Taco Bell.

Didi and Charlie came and got us at 3 pm... they are so punctual :-)) The evening was a lot of fun. Frank and Charlie bragged about how they were so bad at the game of pool.

Karen, their beautiful daughter, joined us. She became "photographer of the evening" and did well.

Charlie is a jokester and Frank kept right up with him... most of the time ;-)) It is amazing how their views of life are alike.

Our dinner was delicious. The pork roast was cooked to perfection.... even the pork skin. The rice & beans tasted great too. She told us the name of the dish, but I cannot remember.

We talked and laughed past midnight. Our bedtime is usually 9 or 10 pm. So it was a late night for us.

Didi sent us home with a gift from PR, leftover pork & rice, a plantain, and PR coffee. What a perfect hostess. We had a great evening.

I was a little worried about Frank driving being he didn't sleep much the night before. He did well until we got to the park and he almost turned into the parking area instead of the park. He made it though.
