Olaf, Thank you for your candid examination of the island. We have plans to return in late April, but are very apprehensive about our plans. We have developed friendships with quite a few people on the island and they all hope we will return and help the economy. But ..... we'll see! We loved our three week stay at Elan two years ago. So glad it survived. The setting up on that hill is fantastic. Or, it used to be according to your photographs. We still have a few months to make our final decision on our return. Time will tell, I guess.
