Our Global Gallivants
It was raining hard yesterday so we seemed to be in the car a lot. Justin Bieber rules the radio here, as well as Adele. I thought there was a lot of repetition at home, but this is the Beebs every 5-6 songs! Thankfully there's satellite radio in the car. We went to the Tampa Home Show today. It was held in the Tropicana baseball stadium. We didn't see anything new, but there were some displays of beautiful patio flagstones, I saw the swim spa, a lot of granite displays and Dave was looking at the windows. Since the stadium was in St. Petersburg, we checked out some of the Oriental grocery stores there. We like St. Petersburg, it's a nice city. We cooked dinner at home.

Val Well I'm surprised that you didn't see any new ideas at the home show. That's kind of disappointing. Is it rainy season?
Bea Ching Yeah, we were surprised by that, too. The rainy season here is in the summer. We have been here during the rainy season and it rains hard for 1 or 2 hours every day around dinner time. I did see a booth selling a painting service for the clay tile roofs here. It's an elastomeric acrylic coating that is applied like paint. They use it to waterproof the tile roofs here. Was curious about how it would work on wood in our climate.
