Happy 4th of July
What better way to celebrate the 4th of July than with some pictures of my favorite koala!


I’ll post some fun with fireworks later!
My advice for the day: Don’t play on railroad tracks!
Beachy Fun
Back in March, A.J. and I took a vacation (with our friends Chris and Mandi) to San Jose del Cabo (very near Cabo San Lucas). It was my first ever lounge-on-the-beach-with-no-agenda type of vacation and it was fantastic! We were there for about 9 days and we played in the pool, walked around town, went whale watching, snorkeled and sea kayaked, played in the ocean waves, and had a lot of fun.
I wanted to share some pictures:
Playing in the waves in front of our resort!
On our whale watching cruise, passing in front of El Arco
Sea Kayaking at Cabo Pulmo (where we saw some tropical fish and sea lions)
My big catch-of-the-day 🙂
A variety of towel animals left for us daily by our wonderful maid, Yazmin
Phonetic Alphabet
I saw this at the clinic I was working in on Friday – I suppose they use it for their dictations, but it was just interesting to me.  I heard most of these examples, but I don’t think I’ve ever seen them all in one place (probably because I’m not military).  Anyway – there are a few different phonetic alphabets, this is the on NATO uses:
| Letter | phonetic letter |
|---|---|
| A | Alpha |
| B | Bravo |
| C | Charlie |
| D | Delta |
| E | Echo |
| F | Foxtrot |
| G | Golf |
| H | Hotel |
| I | India |
| J | Juliet |
| K | Kilo |
| L | Lima |
| M | Mike |
| N | November |
| O | Oscar |
| P | Papa |
| Q | Quebec |
| R | Romeo |
| S | Sierra |
| T | Tango |
| U | Uniform |
| V | Victor |
| W | Whiskey |
| X | X-ray |
| Y | Yankee |
| Z | Zulu |
