| Taking a break for a date shake, they are so delicious. The guy with the straw hat was from Ireland. He immigrated to the US twice, when he married his first wife, then returned to Ireland and then immigrated again when he married his second wife. They spend their winters in an RV park close to the down town. He was wealth of local information, as well as being very entertaining. We always marvel at all of the interesting people we meet. |

It's an adjustment to not have internet - one of the things we easily take for granted!!
I like the shaped tree canopy = perfect on the sunny street.
The covered street is such a perfect place to sit when it is too hot, but there are always placed to sit when you want the sunshine. I really liked this city.
