:image Big Humpback Whale!
Still here in Touho.
Now the long weekend is over we have access to great internet at some
point each day allowing us to deal with the problem with the collapsed
ceiling in our London flat. Luckily we are somewhere with a secure and
pretty anchorage plus, almost regular, internet access, that is a combo
hard to find on this coast.
This village is more affluent than the mining town we were at
previously, there the ladies played bingo marking their cards with small
stones and pebbles, here they have beads or coloured glass blobs for
their markers. Bingo seems to be extremely popular in New Cal - the
rates for hiring the communal 'halls' are more for bingo sessions than
for the fruit & veg market.
As we have internet thought I'd upload a photo of the whale, sadly the
camera was being temperamental so we only got a couple of shots - and
none of the calf - anyway here she is - too big to fit in the frame!
