Today I slept in WAY past anytime I can remember! SO, late start getting anything done today. After talking with a few people around here, public transport cannot be relied upon, so better buy a car. Thought I would go to car lots, but funny....they close on Saturday at 1 pm. Business owners do not stay open that long, neither do banks. Most have 9-12 and 1-3. That will be different to get used to!
SO, hadn't been to the beach, even though it is only a few blocks away. Had things to get done first. Before getting to the beach, found another real estate agency, and stopped in to inquire about rentals. Think I have a lead for a 2/1 apartment for only 1800 €, which includes dedicated parking (which is tough so close to the beach). REALLY wanted 2 baths when I have guests, but they accept cats, which is also tough around here. (also want A/C, heat and furnished) He'll show me on Monday.
Ok, now for the funny --- saw my first guy in the alley going to the bathroom! OH MY....hadn't seen that here before.
Have seen some stray mangy cats, a couple of loose dogs too. I am at the Airbnb on the 4th floor, and the kitties are very afraid of the balcony and all the noises.
Stopped in at my fav Pastelaria, and Marco was there with his wife, and he remembered me from last year. Tony who I met the other night is his cousin, and he was there tonight too. They all waved like I was their friend. FELT GOOD! May be my new hangout! And, the lead for the apartment isn't far from there!
Rather a slow day, but feeling a bit slower. Finally think I can finally enjoy retirement. Was fun walking the boardwalk, texting friends with photos and having a BLT, and then a Jack & 7up. SO nice to be retired and enjoying life!
Living the Life, in Paradise.
