Mallorca

Paul stayed on the boat while I went for a walk in Palma de Majorca. We had to tour quickly in order to be back on the boat by 12:30 PM. Two people, who were probably jet-lagged, thought the last call was 3:30 PM. The boat left without them. $4000 later, after flying and staying overnight in Madrid, they rejoined the boat in Marseille.
The cathedral in the centre of town.

An interesting tree in a town square.

The latest in fashion. You can buy the shoes at the front for only $666. The ones at the back with the fancy heel are a bargain at $628.

I like that tree. I sure wouldn't have wanted to be that couple that was left behind. I'm not sure we could have afforded the $4000 so we probably would have had to holiday around Majorca instead!

These people had no passports because the boat keeps them and no clothes because their suitcases were still on the boat. They had to get back somehow.

So how many pairs of shoes did you buy? :)
After getting over the price hurdle, the next challenge would be to walk around in them!

The cathedral is lovely.

Thanksgiving 2022

We gathered with Mark’s parents and Megan Paul and Tom at Mark and Margot’s place in Barrie. I did a selfie with Josh’s phone. Josh and Ella Megan, Paul and Tom wore masks when they were not eating Note Tom's special mask Mark's parents, Dolores and Bob At the table. Unfortunately my head is in front of Tom. Bob and Dolores had stayed there to look after the dogs while Mark, Margot, Joshua and Ella were in Europe. During that time, Bob, looking for something to do, washed all the wine glasses in the chandelier. Margot bruléed sugar on top of the pumpkin pie. It was the best ever. Disappearing fast! The salted caramel apple tart, which Margot also made, had an extra good flavour. Guess who cleaned up!

A November Walk

To make the most of the nice fall weather which was about to end, Megan suggested we meet for a walk at the Brickworks. Because there is a market on Saturday, it was difficult for Paul and I to find parking. We had to wait until we could find someone who was leaving. In the photo Tom is on a wall above the valley of the Brickworks, which was a quarry in the past for the red brick of Toronto. Tom, Megan, Paul and Paul on the wall. Megan’s Dutch tandem bike was of interest to some of the market goers. No problem parking with a bike.

A Busy Week

On Friday Paul and I, Carole and Roy went to Gary’s new place on Sturgeon Lake near Fenelon Falls. Gary is a member of the Toronto Bicycle Network (TBN). When the large winterized cottage came for sale beside his cottage, he decided to buy it and sell his house in Toronto. He has kept his original cottage as well. His children and grandchildren like to visit. Carole and Roy took their bikes and firewood for Gary. Paul and I brought our bikes and Charles (also a member of the club, and a minister)  Charles was minister at this church one summer. There are 4 churches, each a different denomination, in one block in Fenelon Falls Next we visited the local farmer’s market to check on the butter tarts. We then rode10 km on the trail to a chip wagon for lunch., plus 10 km return. Charles is not going very fast these days. It was a very slow ride. BUT …the next time Charles comes, Gary will take him on his ATV. (Gary has a few of them) After the bike ride Gary took us for a boat ride on St...
