More Walking


I am not sure if this is good for me, but I bought in when Eric suggested that we go for another walk like yesterday, so we drove to North Haven (our turn around point yesterday) and walked along the river inlet, nice and level and not too much strain and for only 3 hours today.
Nice and strait forward, no strain

















We stop to watch some fisherman cleaning fish and showing their kids how to do it. In the meantime, hordes of Pelicans were waiting to get there cut.
Lets see if I can do this, learning by doing

This is how it's done

































He wants to see it close up

They are waiting at a distance for the scraps

































We visited an Oyster processing farm, and I was surprised to find out how much work and risk it takes and that it takes 3 years of growing time before I can eat an oyster.
Each one of the white posts shows one year and what is used to grow them.

















Along the river’s edge, we found polls showing how high the water has been at flood time and how high they estimate it could climb.
This is how high it was in 1963






















Arriving at home, the time has come to have a bite to eat and a beer for lunch. 
Simple lunch, Patricia is making a curry for tonight

  1. Living in Paradise hey! It is beautiful up there isn't it? Neal says he wants to spend a week in Port..... Eric is a good host, shame Janet is not there yet. We love those walks you did. Always a treat to have a coffee, or icecream at the end of a walk right? Have a nice visit and say hi for us...
