As we work our way through the Canaries, my days are falling into a pattern. If two days can make a pattern? I enjoy watching us sail into harbor early and head upstairs to the Ocean Cafe for coffee then find a nice place to sit, stitch, and people watch.
the harbor was lovely to look at, but a bit more challenging to walk through. I met a lovely woman from Oregon with whom I took a stroll through the city. We found one of the medium size groceries so I added to my chocolate stash. A stop at El Corte Englais confirmed that their yarn/sewing/notions department (now listed as a Haberdashery) is down to about nothing. A small amount of Schachmayer yarn, some Prym notions. s few lousy embroidery hoops, and a carousel of DMC sadly lacking in about 1/3 of the colors. Ah well.
Of note, this is also the military harbor for Spain in the Canaries. I remember seeing the military museum on one of my previous stops here.
It was nice for the walk and return to the ship. More soup for lunch combined with gazing out the windows.
By days end – another 1500 stitches… the bat and the bird were easy, that house is seeming to go on forever….
my phone actually seems to have recovered almost completely. I am not going to hold my breath completely. But, unfortunately, it points out how dependent I, along with everyone else, have become on the “instant communications.”
