Pearl harvest in Indonesia

[pearlescence]

Some of you may already know that Betty Sue King and I were recently fortunate to be invited to help with the harvest of south sea pearls on a pearl farm in Indonesia.
I have just finished the long blog entry with many photos. it is here
It was an incredible experience. Hard work but truly memorable.

Wow! Loved reading your pearl harvesting blog, from start to finish. You have a great writing style, so descriptive, I could almost imagine being there. What an experience!

 

[pearlescence]

Thank you for that correction PD. I have corrected my post's link also.

I am sure the blog post is wonderful...my antivirus software won't let me open the page. And ironically, it gives me this warning: I believe my bank account may be trying to tell me something! It's dangerous because I'll want to spend $$$!

 

[Marianne]

Fantastic report, Wendy! Thanks for taking us with you!!!

 

[pattye]

WOW, an experience of a lifetime! Thanks so much for taking me with you, Wendy!

I did get your report to open, Wendy, though it took a while to load. Completely worth the wait; so fascinating!!! Thank you so much for sharing

 

[pearlescence]

No spending involved JP.

Pearlescence, I am sad I can't open your blog, my antivirus stops it... I don't know why.

If you can't get on from the link here you might be able to access direct from the website home page where the blog is in the social box to the right side.
I have no idea why it is being blocked - it's a standard wordpress blog

So sorry, Pearlescence, I have tried to look at your blog through your own website, it don't work too. My antivirus (Kapersky) says that it's a malware page. Maybe something wrong is staying in your link?

How exciting, Wendy! Thanks so much for sharing your travel experience with us!

I thought maybe the issue was with safari, but I still cannot get in even through chrome. I can get to your website, but I don't see a link from there to your blog.

 

[pearlescence]

Well, others can so maybe the problem is your settings?
The link to the blog is on the PC home page on the right side in the social box

I use Safari, so I don't think the browser is the issue. I loved your post, Wendy

 

[Marianne]

I was able to view Wendy's blog from my outdated Safari browser on an even older laptop that is now giving me the spinning beach ball of death on my e-mail account and simply refuses to open many sites...

That's 2 people who have had computer problems when accessing the blog.
I updated my post #2 to include a caution, since we don't really know what is going on with the linked site.

Come to think of it, I guess I had problems too, but didn't put 2 and 2 together until now. I kept getting a message that Safari had quit loading content, or some such message. I figured it was just my older software program being persnickety.
