Today it's raining so I'm passing the time on my tablet while
waiting for it to stop. It's supposed to clear in the early afternoon. I read that Moncton received another 30 cm of
snow. I guess we chose our dates well after all. This is the 4th snowstorm
since we left.
I don't know where we will go next year but I 'm going to be
looking for a place less hilly than Albuferia.
To give you an idea of the hills here: To go to one of the grocery
stores and back is about 6,400 steps and 27 flights of stairs. To go to the
other grocery store it is about 6,300 steps and 27 flights of steps. The hills
are getting easier to do but my heart is still pounding by the time we have
reached our 3rd floor apartment. 😊
We learned that the locals look at the men's feet to determine if
they are Canadian or British. The
Canadians go bare feet in their sandals while the British wear socks with their
sandals. We look at the way they hold their utensils while they eat to
determine if they are Europeans or north Americans. (The Europeans hold their
knife and fork in the opposite side from us and they don't put their other hand
on their lap.)
Well the weather seems to be clearing a bit, so I will stop my
reminiscing and get ready to go out for a stroll. 😁
