Today we tried walking a different route and actually ended up headed back sooner than expected. But down around the corner we found a different grocery store closer to our apartment and with a fair assortment of food. We had more laundry to d and I couldn’t get the washer to work. When I was preparing breakfast this boat went by our window
Just when I was voting to use the Skye option (throw the washer from the window while videoing) I thought of what to try and it worked. We needed to go to the church as the internet is way slow to download pictures and with all those I wanted to use in the blog there weren’t enough hours in the day to do it. At the church I was done in minutes. Since we were halfway to the mall we went on over to purchase some items we thought we could only get there. I don’t think we are going to find sour cream.
I grabbed a picture of what I called a sailboat, turns out to be the type of boat used to chase whales complete with harpoon and large tubs full of coiled rope.
Walking home more pictures of grandma with yup more flowers, cool huh?
Here is a picture of the building we live in.
Home again I made lunch and we traveled to a town probably about 15 miles away. The island is about 40 miles long and 16 wide running at an angle with the bottom where we live at the southwest and the top in the north east. We went to.ribeiro grande (rio grande big river) misnamed as it hardly has any water. We live in Ponta Delgada (narrowest point). The map is fairly good I just found it and hope it shows up good.
Till coronavirus there were two branches one where we are in ponta delgado (skinny point) and one in ribeiro grande. Both had nice chapels, but they combined the two and called one são miguel after the name of the island. We stopped and checked out the chapel. It had the smell of a building closed up for too long. It is a beautiful little chapel 2 stories high has a miniature soccer field nice class rooms and cultural hall.
We visited the ocean there were some amazing views as the evening came.
We visited 3 members homes. Shared the road with some people on horseback.
Sort of sad to see such a nice chapel just closed up. We traveled home and l put together supper and baked a chocolate cake. Interesting day. We love and miss you all.

That is a really nice Chapel too. Hopefully as things get better you will need it again the future. Which Elder is the local?
You tell him Jim😃. Beautiful chapel. Have you gotten to walk on the beach yet? Find any seashells? I like the selfies of you and mom.
Your a handsome man with grandma, grandpa, love the picture of you together. How was the chocolate cake? If you do walk on the beach please take a jar and fill it with some sand for me, please? It's so cool seeing people on horseback on a road. Have you seen any dolphins in the ocean yet or are there not dolphins there? Love you guys, and beautiful flowers. Love Ashley!
