1-13-2019 Sunday Beach Walk with Friends

Our beach walk started at Luba Laruga, one of our favorite cool spots. Several friends joined us there.

As usual, we split a meal because it's too much food for one person.

After lunch we continued our walk north on the beach.

One friend's son came on the walk, so we had to stop at Nice Cream for dessert.

Several of us enjoyed a treat there. Cara tried the Belizean Sugar Corn ice cream in a cassava waffle bowl, and it was good.

 

Jetski rentals are a new and somewhat controversial addition to Hopkins.

We had to take a picture of some nice art along the way that we somehow never noticed before.

A couple pics showing the state of the beach near Weiga and Kismet Inn...

 

We have seen it much better and much worse than this. The beach comes and goes...

 

Sadly, this natural area is set for future development.

We made it all the way to "Hawaii" before sunset.

 

On the walk back (by road) we noticed some people decided to clear out this dead tree by burning it instead of cutting it
down. The picture didn't turn out very well, but it was kind of cool to see the tree burning from the inside out.

Saturday, April 21, 2018 - Earth Day Festival

After visiting several garage sales with friends we went to a local farmers market.

Cara found gluten free bread - yay!

We went to a free wine tasting at a local liquor store.

We went to downtown Indianapolis for the Earth Day Festival, which had live music, food, activities and lots of exhibitors.

Saturday, April 28, 2018 - Wine Festival with Eric's Mother

We were in southern Indiana working with a client, so on a sunny but cool Saturday afternoon we met Eric's mother, Nancy, 
in nearby Huntingburg for the Garden Gate Jazz, Art, Wine & Craft Beer Festival. It was a lovely afternoon. 

 

 

The festival was right by a stadium where the movie "A League Of Their Own" was filmed.
