Tuesday February 22

 

I have to say at times writing this blog in the morning is work. But I like sharing the neat things that happen so I need to report the happenings of each day so as not to miss recording something neat. So it was chilly again this morning and for the first half of the walk I wore my sweatshirt. We headed down to the coast and as we entered the street that paralleled the water I noticed the large 3 masted black sailing ship motoring out of the harbor.

This is amazing. This ship has been here for months. I actually thought it could be where she would stay permanently until she decomposed. We were glad we arrived in time to see her leave. Many days we encounter this woman out walking her dogs down here barefoot. I didn’t think she was homeless, but homeless don’t have a couple of dogs. Well today we figured it out. There is this one catamaran, a large sailboat that is two boats joined together by a center part keeping them separated and where the large mast for the sale sets. This setup makes them very stable. Anyway you can tell someone has always lived on board as there is often laundry hanging out 

The barefoot lady got off the boat with her dogs so mystery solved. We kept walking making a large circle back to home. I got a picture of a political sign. This one was from the communist party and didn’t include the socialist party as the other ones have.

Okay back to work we ended up back visiting one of the members who live in villa franca. She had orange hair. To see what she normally looked like see November 28. 

I have often described her as an old hippie, I think it still fits. She had pretty flowers in her yard and picked one for grandma.

We drove around trying to locate some members and ended up going down a steep street that would be difficult to go up down to the beach where we stopped for a moment.

We only stayed a few minutes then back on the road again. This evening we had leftover roast and potatoes and gravy. Even better than yesterday. Good day. We love you all.
