ANSWERING THE CALL!

Yesterday it was cool and partly cloudy, the high was only 14C and Tuesday nights' low went down to 4C. 

Too cool for the pool so we took a bicycle ride around the resort and things were rather quiet. In the afternoon after sitting around for awhile Cathy heard the call of the Outlet Mall, so we took a ride over. It is an outside Mall about 3 miles away and was it busy! It must of had about 70 stores. It took awhile to find a parking space. They don't seem to celebrate Boxing Day here like in Ontario, but they do get into the shopping mood and go to the outlet stores apparently. Lots of people from Mexico. They bring the kids in their strollers then start carrying the kids and packing the stroller with all their purchases. When we arrived we took a look at the directory and there was close to 25 shoes stores alone. Cathy was in Heaven! We spent the rest of the day there and made it back in time for dinner, but missed happy hour (dam!). Cathy ended getting, yes, a pair of shoes, pants and an item she hadn't seen for a long time - an Angel Food Cake Cutter.

After dinner we decided to go over to the rec. hall to check out the karaoke. There were about 12 people who participated  and they came all came with their own music. As you can guess some were pretty good and then there were the others (off key etc.) But they all had a good time. The person running the event was after a group of people to get more drinks into this one fellow so he would get up to sing - but he didn't do it.

 Coming home from the Mall the sunset was lovely. By the time I stopped, got off the bike, took the camera out of the pouch and focused it the sun dropped from showing half the sun to the little sliver you see in the middle. I'll have to be faster next time.   

Not sure if I will post for today as it looks like an uneventful day shaping up - still cool at 11 o'clock with 13C and a low last night of 6C. It is to reach about 23C. (Not complaining about the coolness - it is still better than Ontario). I know you just got some snow.

All for now...
