Fishing 4 Condiments

 

What I should be doing is telling you about Mazatlan today. About the ship sailing into harbor this morning. About docking in a commercial port. About all the cars, buses, and trucks staged & the huge Solar Hybrid transport.

But first –

Fishing 4 Condiments

Ok – now that you have seen it, I will move on.

It was about 0700 in the morning when we passed the outer portions of the harbor

Approaching the port

and saw the city in the distance

the new city

 

Common to most port cities – the Seafarer’s Memorials –

The Memorials

and, after we sailed in a bit, turned around to face out of the harbor and docked next to the Emerald Ace and all those cars..

Just some of the vehicles

About late morning, I rode the port trolley (only way to get around in the port) over to the terminal. Like several of our other stops, there were multiple vendors: junk, t-shirts, and pharmacies featuring prominently along with alcohol. I walked around, Confirmed that I didn’t need a thing and headed back to the ship. Obviously, I have spent the rest of the day on Fishing 4 Condiments and it was about 1600 stitches to finish. I still have the back stitching to do, but that will be easier completed once I am home.

About Holly

fiber person - knitter, spinner, weaver who spent 33 years being a military officer to fund the above. And home. And family. Sewing and quilting projects are also in the stash. After living again in Heidelberg after retiring (finally) from the U.S. Army May 2011, we moved to the US ~ Dec 2015. Something about being over 65 and access to health care. It also might have had to do with finding a buyer for our house. Allegedly this will provide me a home base in the same country as our four adult children, all of whom I adore, so that I can drive them totally insane. Considerations of time to knit down the stash…(right, and if you believe that…) and spin and .... There is now actually enough time to do a bit of consulting, editing. Even more amazing - we have only one household again. As long as everyone understands that I still, 40 years into our marriage, don't do kitchens or bathrooms. For that matter, not being a golden retriever, I don't do slippers or newspapers either. I don’t miss either the military or full-time clinical practice. Limiting my public health/travel med/consulting and lecturing to “when I feel like it” has let me happily spend my pension cruising, stash enhancing (oops), arguing with the DH about where we are going to travel next and book buying. Life is good!
