V.C. Bird International

Strange to sleep in a real bed and take a shower with lots of space. The hotel was old and the equivalent of a Super 6….($173US). We woke early and went to the hotel breakfast at 7am. We watched the cruise ships come in and then decided to walk around. We crossed the street and I took a detour to Zemi art gallery (and found Warri seeds). The owner (Stephen Murphy) had lived in Canada for 25 years and had dual citizenship. Back to find Brian and we walked to the church and around the town, stopping a few times for water. We went back to Zemi and I bought a Christmas ornament (well something he drilled to make into an ornament) and then we went back to the hotel until checkout at noon.
Back to the car, only to find a parking ticket and then off to Friar Hill Road again…. to Woods Mall. I asked about the cost of a mammogram and then need past images (which I’ll collect when home). Then to Bella Cafe again, to enjoy another smoothie and lunch. We went to Epicuriean Grocery store and found they had lots of gluten free food. They were playing Mary Did You Know (mom’s favourite Christmas carol) and many other tunes. It was the first time I heard carols and it brought tears or happy and sad!
Then to the airport as flight wasn’t cancelled, Brian came in and I went to the bathroom to change, only to realize that the pants Ashlynn had sewn…. Was done wrong. I found my yoga pants, said a sad goodbye and headed to security. I purchased some fish tacos as I figured I wouldn’t eat till tomorrow again. On the plane now, finishing my writing as my trip concludes, and hoping that Ashlynn is having a wonderful time at the ballet with Hugo.
I’ll sleep at the airport tonight and catch my flight in the morning.Read more
