Walking man

Today, I spent a lot of time walking around town. I had a good breakfast in a small cafe, enjoying my first time off the boat in two days. Amazingly, I didn't have wobbly land legs.


Art galleries line the main street, so I had a good time looking at local art. This is quite an artsy place. Tomorrow I will be going to some used book stores, one of my favorite things to do.


The waterfront park is beautiful. Swings, benches, statues, flower beds, and a pavilion line brick walkways along the waterfront. I really like the ambiance of a small town, and this one is so appealing.


I have checked out the schedule for Al-Anon and will go to a meeting on Thursday. It is within walking distance. I am going to an open AA meeting tonight, having found a club house near the marina. The walk to the AA meeting goes past many old mansions along an avenue of live oaks draped with Spanish moss.


I am planning to head back home on Friday. There is a line of thunderstorms coming through tomorrow through Thursday. I will stay put and continue my walking and photo tour of the town until the weather improves.

All is well at home. C. is keeping in touch with her parents who are doing well. I talk to her on the phone several times a day. Hopefully, she and I will be able to do a cruise up the coast to Chesapeake Bay in early fall. I miss her and wish she were here to enjoy this place.

In the meantime, I am going to relax, enjoy, and do some more walking.
