Monday November 15

 

Today is p-day. But making a long story short it got messed up. I finally was able to go on my solo walk after nearly a week. The wind and rain have really knocked the leaves off the trees,  even the green ones. You need to walk a little careful as they can be slick when stepped on.

There still seems to be a lot of green leaves on the trees so I don’t know if all of them fall off or only part. We ate a late breakfast and waited. I realized how late it was and contacted the elders they were at lunch with the car. Since they had an early evening appointment needing the car we were left here. I hate being cheated out of p-day but I guess we have to get by. It was blowing hard but it was clear and sunny. It would have been a great day for looking out over the ocean and seeing some new sights. We went for a walk. We found a tree that has to be a poinsettia as seen at the start of the blog. All the stores have window displays of Christmas stuff. 

The nativity out of burlap is cool and large. We walked through the center of town stopping in several shops. We ended up down on the waterfront at a store that sells fishing and marine stuff.

I looked at pocket knives and ended up buying a Swiss Army knife similar to mine at home. I would have liked to buy a knife unique to here but I haven’t seen anything like that. We came back to the apartment and ate. Not much else to do. From now on we will have the car. The waves were really intense today with the wind and high tide. The wind was actually so bad that we didn’t walk as far as we would have normally. These pictures are of the swimming area and the water is crashing clear over the steps.

We love you all.
