Going by too fast

Our last few days here are going by far too quickly.  Another gorgeous day today.  Our morning walk showed us that the big cruise ship that has been in port the last few days is gone.  On our daily walks there are a few people that always say hi to us, some of the vendors in the market, the security guy at the marina, one of the fisherman, a few of the waitresses, and a tour vendor.  These are our "friends" here.  This morning one of the tug boats is pulled up along the dock filling up on gas, the boats name is Canada, we had a nice chat, well broken English chat, with the guys working on the boat.  Boats are named after different countries, they seemed happy to hear we were from Canada.  We have come to learn it is good to say we are from English Canada, French don't seem to be so loved around here, but I'm sure it is France French.

The sidewalk at one place is a tad dangerous but we still walk it



The name of the tugboat is Canada
