This morning, I stopped by Jean and Derrick's (from outside London) to take some pictures of their lovely garden. Then I sat and chatted with them for a few hours-time does fly! She asked me what I missed most, and I said, "Talking!" No surprise, there, I guess....But it has been very interesting...this not talking much at all!
After lunch, I went into town to see if I could find the Roman Baths I read about with no luck....NEXT time! After a quick stop to the grocery store, I came back to-of course-go to the beach about 4! I didn't see any of the neighbors, so I sat by myself. After I'd been there quite a while,I did, and they asked me to join them for an end of the breach day drink, so, of course, "Don't invite me...." There were three couples, and it was just like watching a British sit-com. VERY funny! (And speaking of TV,Tony offered and later came over to get the TV to work with loads of British TV stations.) They and another couple are planning a trip to Baza and Granada next week. However, the men want to watch the Ryder Cup, so there was much discussion around that and the upcoming trip. (And there was some dialogue about how the Americans had let the Ryder Cup get so boisterous when it was in Brookline....)
So that is the update...not alot of excitement, but once Karen arrives, I'll be RIGHT BACK IN THE VERY SERIOUS TOURIST MODE!! Adios! And thanks for the comments!:))

Who is Karen? Glad that you are getting company soon.
ReplyDeleteYes, i would think that you would miss talking to English speaking people the most. I find that Ray who is traveling a lot comes home and tells me interesting stories about the people that he talked to on the plane. It helps him and you not feel so alone.

ReplyDeleteTRUE! But tough to talk with people who don't speak English!
