Woke up at 8 o’clock this morning feeling way better. Jeff went out and got chocolate croissants and tarts for breakfast. Once we got our beds straighten around and put away we decided to walk uptown for coffee. We sat at a little café on the sand watching the ocean. It’s regatta weekend so there’s hundreds of sailboats in the water racing around. Then we decided to walk back to the apartment got partway and stopped at a bakery. We picked up a little something for dessert for supper tonight. We got part way back and then Jeff said shit I’ll take the desserts back and then come back because we’re only going to come back again to watch the parade. So we sat and waited for Jeff to come back.
We decided to sit on the bench and wait for the parade to come. And we figured we should have lunch so we found a little café and went in and sat down. Actually we only went in for beer and then decided we should have something to eat. So we had a sandwich and chatted more.
The parade was supposed to start at three and it wasn’t until after 3:30 that they started coming down the road. Looks like they stopped every 10 feet and waited for a bit so it took forever for the floats to get down to where we were. We watched the parade and then decided to head back to the house – it is a long way, but only in our minds.
BBQ pork chops and chorizo sausage for supper. O so good. And deserts from the bakery that we visited this morning. And good ending for the day.
