Saturday August 18/12 update

Last night I took another walk and ended up watching some local soccer and volleyball.  Then the boys and I watched The Rise Of The Planet Of The Apes with James Franco which was amazingly good.  I don’t know why they put such a tacky title on such a fine movie because it was not at all like the old Ape movies.  Then I had the best sleep in months!

I slept in and did my chores today and then had a nice nap in Bella’s recliner.   It makes me realize how much I miss my old recliner that was donated to me by Tom and Betty.

I fed the boys then caught the #50 to the Rotary Market area.   I wanted to pick up 3 more folding hair brushes for $1 each and I picked up a cheap but complete manicure set for another 50c.

Then I hopped the next #50 over to Joe’s Secret Garden for their Shrimp Scampi supper which was absolutely delicious!   There were many nice people there including 3 more Canadian couples.

One of the patrons asked if she could follow me around and pass out postcards of an apartment they have for rent on the coast.  I saw no harm in that so I said OK.  I didn’t realize she was doing a major sales pitch that apparently some folks didn’t appreciate with their leisurely supper.   When I found out that complaints had been made to Joseph I had to apologize to both Joseph and the lady for my error in judgment. 

Other than that the evening was awesome and Joe regaled us with some more tunes on his Baby Grand.

I caught a cab home and this cabbie had spent 10 years as a cook in the Hamptons in New York so he spoke pretty good English.

That was today’s excitement.   Please see all photos at souvenircuenca.blogspot.com.  Hugs to all.
