New Year. New resolutions.

The "significant other" and I spent the first Friday of the new year at Fairchild Tropical Botanic Garden doing our usual tram tours. He drives the 68-passenger tram and we take turns talking. The most interesting part of our job for us is meeting the guests from all over the world who visit the Garden.  Our "payment" for our volunteer work comes at the end of a 45 minute tour when someone comes up to tell us how much they enjoyed what we have to say.

At the end of our first tour this week (we do three, at 10, 11 and 12 on Friday mornings), Benard left the driver's seat for a few minutes, and when he returned he had been "replaced" at the wheel. A younger man had taken over and was raring to go.  His name is Sebastian and he's from Chicago.

I think we are going to make a great team.

Oh yes, about my resolutions for 2013.  Think young.  This seemed like a good start!
