Good Afternoon! It’s sunny, 75 degrees, and the usual breeze blowing. Wonderful! Last night we ate an Italian restaurant and while we were waiting for the third couple, we walked to the curb to take pictures of a palm tree that none of us had ever seen the shape before. We walked by a pet store and there was a little cat sitting by the door looking out. Her tag said her name was Bella. Then on our way back there was another cat sitting on a window sill, his name was Jonathan. After we finished eating I walked back to see if they were still there but there was a third cat. It was a long haired cat, and eating, so I couldn’t see the name. Now I wonder if they roam the store during business hours. I don’t suppose I can talk fast enough to go back when they are open.
Sandy, we have seen whales each time we’ve been out in the boat. It’s just the new captains aren’t as good at finding them and then don’t get as close as they could. When it is very windy they tend to stay below the surface. Today was much better! There was a group of five; a female in the lead, her main escort (male) right behind her, followed by at least three more males trying to oust the lead male. The males will get pretty aggressive, 40 tons apiece isn’t something to get too close to when they are mad. The goal is to mate with the female. Because of her size the naturalist thought she was probably too young yet. When you are as wet as we were you just plan to go home and change before doing anything else.
“Gma,” pepper steak sounds good! Let us know how it turned out. We stocked up on bananas and so far so good with the leg cramps. I have had two really good nights of sleep. We have two double beds in our room and I finally moved to the other bed. Bob tosses ‘n turns with his sore shoulder and kept running into me. We never did run into my doctor and his nurse, they are back home in the land of snow and cold. I have lab work the week after we get home and am going to ask for Plan B on my shoulder. It’s stiff in the morning, fine during the day, and aches at night.
I just got a text from Beth and the speaker we gave Maddy for Christmas broke. Of course the return date has gone by. I told her I’d order another one, or she can, and I will pay for it. The reviews on it were all good when I ordered it.
We are trying to decide where to go for supper. I’m voting for pizza but think we will end up at a nearby restaurant. Everyone else really likes it, me not so much. Enjoy your evening!
It’s too bad Thomas doesn’t keep in touch with you.
Be careful! “Home” is under a snow/winter weather alert today and tomorrow. 
We had the same boat captain as yesterday along with two trainees on board. We can only get so close to the whales but these people have no clue what the length of a football field looks like. Again we didn’t see many whales. Bob maintains if she really knew how to drive a boat against the waves, and into the wind, we wouldn’t have gotten wet. As it was we were drenched to the point we dripped water as we got off the boat. We headed back to the condo to get rid of the salt, get dry clothes, and warm up.
Ouch on getting the nose hair done! It's bad enough getting my eyebrows waxed... but nose hair?? You're a brave woman!
It is rainy here today but in the 60's so I am ok with that. I am not going out anyway so I don't care.
That boy is not a picky eater & loves everything!
