And it looks like their behaviour is not changing. It must be so frustrating for those who just want lives to get back to (albeit new) normal. In Gibraltar you still cannot get on a bus without a mask on. I have been on a bus when a passenger was threatened by the driver with being thrown off for taking down his mask and talking to his partner. OK so loads of people do not cover their nose, and I am sure it would make more sense for people to be using the hand sanitiser at the door instead of a mask - but it is just so much easier to maintain social distancing rules in a small place. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was shocked, as many of us are that don't live in big urban cities. Like others, it does make us even more appreciate our suburban driveways and garages. WOW. Even though we are all cruisers and <mostly> holiday travelers, it is fascinating to learn about the nuances of everyday life in other countries. It is really interesting and greatly appreciated. I won't even go to downtown Providence because the city has parking meters. I refuse to pay to park my car just to have the priviledge of spending money in stores and restaurants. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We worried about it collapsing under us, so it was a relief when the new bridge was built. Oh wow! How cool is that!! And yeah, does look a little rough! We have driven over the new bridge many times in the past years in "the land yacht"...big RV pulling the Jeep...not sure I would want to drive over the old one! 😮 😮 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Downtown was busy but still plenty of free parking. I go to the knit store in Pensacola and it has a free parking lot. I hesitate to go to other places in downtown Pensacola because it is all pay to park. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare island lady Posted June 12, 2021 #19206 Share Posted June 12, 2021 Leaving tomorrow for our next 2 week stay north of Bar Harbor, Gouldsboro area. Might be too far for these cute little Goldfinches to find us. 😞 We have had a lot of Hummingbirds, Finches, Nuthatches, Chickadees, etc. Hope we get some at the new place. Also have been enjoying watching a pair of Eagles building a next near us. Those "sticks" they carry up to build the nest are big branches of trees...can't believe they can carry something that heavy! 😮 Couldn't get a decent picture of them. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, close to Emerald Coast Wildlife Refuge which is a very special place. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indeed, have always felt the Florida Panhandle was a special place. Most beautiful beaches in the world (IMHO )....and nice clear white sand spring rivers to kayak on and enjoy. 👍 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare bobmacliberty Posted June 12, 2021 #19210 Share Posted June 12, 2021 Moving day number 2 about to start. I've picked up the U-Haul truck and it's sitting in the driveway. Waiting for DD26 to appear so that we can start to move her, ah stuff. Feeling good right now after a couple of espressos. We'll see how I feel at the end of the day. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No bread or potatoes, but once in a while you have to make exceptions. Like today!!! We traveled to a Strawberry festival today where there was lots of “fair food”. Had to try a gyro. And it took all my willpower to not buy some of the fresh, Amish donuts. They smelled so good, and they were almost the size of life preservers. There were a few alpacas in a pen, with some things made from their fur for sale. There were plenty of vendors, live music, and no masks in sight. Will we see you on "Carnival Eats" on the Cooking Channel???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sorry I never took her up on her invitation before I moved to Texas. that is a shame as it is a beautiful island. maybe someday if you do a cruise out of Bayonne you can drive down to LBI (about 1.5 hr ride) and stay at one of the beautiful hotels/resorts on the beach. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
