Summer Vacation
After the appliances, supplies and temporary furniture was arranged in the apartment it was time to enjoy our vacation home. Since Gaby’s kittens were so young they came with my husband and I for a couple of weeks in August.
We found a great supermarket only a half a block away that offered everything we needed at reasonable prices, a laundry service and self-service laundry store close by giving us an option as to whether or not we wanted to use our time doing this chore or hiring out. The bus terminal is only a few blocks away giving us an option of driving or relaxing while being driven to the apartment, the post office, medical center, fire department, local police and even
Western Union is well within walking distance.
The peak of the season had lots to offer such as free beach exercise classes, a Medieval Fair which included a book fair, all the shopping from low end products to high end designer ware, sports galore and the last night of August Loule sponsored a Summer Night/ White Night Gala where 95% of the people dressed it white summer clothes.
They had fire eaters, dancers, teenagers walking around on stilts, music, food and again lots of shopping; most shops offering a discount to customers wearing white.
I must admit it was difficult leaving the apartment at the end of the summer but knowing we can return whenever the opportunity presents itself eased the pain.

Since the summer we have returned twice for weekend stays and the last one gave us such a pleasant surprise, we can see the sun setting from our apartment! There a lots of new photos including two with the sunset, hope you enjoy them.
*Gaby’s kittens are doing fantastic, they are almost three months of age.
